Sunrise, Virginia Beach

Morning walk

Good Morning, from Virginia Beach

This photograph has had no editing to enhance the colors. I woke up bright and early, that means 5:30, (very early to me) to catch the sun as it was waking up. While trying to photograph a perfect sunrise I turned to my left and caught this scene instead. I really enjoy the composition of the image. The water line leads the eye throughout the image and the sky is a nice beautiful blue.

Carnival Rides

This image was taken as part of my carnival series. It is a black and white analog print which has been converted to digital. This image was recently exhibited in Virginia and West Virginia. It was selected to appear in Shepherd University's Honors Show in 2009.

Forgotten

This image was taken in Rappahannock County, Virginia.

Monticello gardens

This is a different way to display a landscape photo but I think that it works well overall. I love the nice bright, saturated color of this photograph. This was taken after a light rain.

Spoons

This image was also created as part of my "Reflection" series.

Washington D.C. Botanical Gardens

I am usually not one to photograph flowers but because it is May I can't seem to keep myself from posting them. I've used photoshop to create some contrast between the flower and the leaves. I think it makes an interesting photo.

Winchester window

This image is part of the "Reflection" series that was created for a class assignment. The image is slightly abstracted due to the reflections from both the window and the mirror. "Winchester Window" is currently exhibited in Virginia.

In the garden...

This photograph was taken today as I walked along the garden in the sunny afternoon.

photo du jour

This photo was taken in New York at Ellis Island.

New York Playground

This photo is one of my favorites, I took it in New York City at Hudson Park playground. The image becomes a little abstracted, which is one of the reasons I really like it. The tonal variations really help to add to the overall composition as well.

April showers brings May flowers

After a long debate, I have finally chosen this image to be my photo of the day. It appears beauty can be found anywhere, in this particular case, right outside my front door. This image reminds me of breezy spring days when the smell of newly opened flowers permeates the air.

Day at Monticello, Virginia

This trip was my first photo excursion of the summer. It was a beautiful day! The random sprinkles were not enough to deter me from snapping a few photos. The tour staff would not allow photography inside of the home, so instead, I took photos of the grounds. This photograph is my favorite shot of the day!
