We interrupt this blog post with….

…. a sampling of my newest photography.

Clicking each pic, will show it larger in a new window — enjoy!

Photography, even my amateur attempts — is crucial for creativity and inspiration for me. It allows me to see the everyday, mundane things around me — in a totally new light. I gain an appreciation for the world I so often take for granted… I see exciting color palettes, dream up whimsical new worlds, learn to look at the elements that make up the whole — all of which are beneficial to my art.

Give it a shot — grab your camera, go take a walk and try to see the world around you in a new light. You just may be surprised by what you discover.
