Textures

Dried roses, nestled among the babies breath.

Light plays an important aspect in the world of photography and I am always intrigued in the beauty of edison light bulbs, how they play on glass, surrounds and surfaces.

Flowers absolutely brighten a room, bring a smile, and make a otherwise dull day, bright again. Sunflower in painted light.

Sunflower Perfection

A gorgeous summer beauty. You know it's full summer time when the sunflowers come out. They love the heat and the sunshine.

Spring is not far around the corner but thankfully we can enjoy flowers many times through out the year if grown in green houses and indoor climates during the harsh winter. White daisy.

A place in my dreams

As I turned away from the coastline to look back at the grasses blowing in the breeze off the ocean, this view was breathtaking. Sitting on those decks, listening to the water, the crashing waves, the wind blowing in the grasses below, is what dreams are made of, but this place is in indeed very real.

Pastel Adventures on the Oregon Coast

Lately, I've been on a venture of taking my photography a step to the side with adding an artistic addition. Sometimes when I travel I don't get the most idealic light for my location. Perhaps it's the middle of the day, or the sun chose not to come out when I visited a favorite location. Adding an artistic addition to my photography allows me to still capture nature, mother earth, and turn it into art. With out taking this image to a step beyond, it otherwise would have likely sat in my Lightroom library never touched. A beautiful semi-sunny early afternoon on the Cannon Beach, Oregon Coast, 2017.
