Architectural Photography



Architecture is one of my favorite photographic subjects. It doesn't squirm. It doesn't need make-up. It is always in a good mood. I like the mathmatics of architecture and its multitude of fuctions in our culture. Whether it's the old relics of Europe, or the modern skycrapers of New York, I find the angles and curves mesmerizing, much like viewing a beautiful woman or a well-chisled man.

The World of Inspiration


What is inspiration? Is it synthesizing something and converting it to a new form? Is it approaching everyday things from a new perspective? Some say creativity is born of pain. I say creativity is in all of us, if we simply find those things that are of importance to us, and then indulge our passions accordingly.

The World of Creativity



I believe we're all inherently creative. Some of us are creative in publically acclaimed areas. Others are creative in quiet ways that rarely receive attention. How do you muster up creative juices? Sometimes it's by simply taking another route, trying something new, getting out of your comfort zone. For me, I try to describe the mundane in an unusual fashion. Use new verbs. Try new adjectives. Look at the object and throw new words at it. In photography, I try to approach the subject from an unusual angle, often rendering it in an abstract fashion. In music, I try to break the barriers of musical styles. What is music anyway, but a symphony of sounds that render themselves pleasant to the ears?
