Can I like both? I understand and appreciate the asymmetry of the second picture. Love how the dark wood on the right pulls me into the image, yet I’m constantly drawn to the lights. However, not sure if it is too much Star Trek with the Enterprise in warp speed, but I prefer the symmetry of the first pic. Everything in balance, beautiful lines. T…Read More

The more abstract forms of photography like impressionism and minimalism intrigue me. I prefer creating images that depict energy, mood, and silence. To illustrate my themes, I use mainly long exposures, selective focus, and focus blur. My philosophy is that the camera is just a paintbrush and that thought-provoking images stem from a developed mind.
