Seagull Landing In Sunset Beach

I have to say that one of my favorite things to capture is animals in action. I am still learning how to capture it properly without too much blur. I really love how this one turned out. It was just a single shot captured at the right moment. It is the actions shots that I really love capturing. I wish there was a place I could go and practice more. Maybe I need to look for a place like that.

Black Fender Squier Bullet Guitar

I tried learning how to play the guitar at one point. I spent a bit of time each day practicing, but I realized that I would rather spend that time learning about photography. I still have the guitar if I ever want to try again, but for now I like to devote my time to my photography and learning how to get better at that.

Myrtle Beach Skywheel In Black And White

I was inspired by some other local photographers to capture this picture. I have seen it done a few times and I wondered what it would look like with my eye and vision. I really like how mine turned out. I am probably a little biased though. Tourist season is coming up quickly, so I am trying to get pictures of the popular places before it gets too crowded. I hope you like this one.

Orange and Gold Sunset Over Marina

The sky was absolutely lovely this night. I saw that it was going to have a lot of orange in the sky so I went to the closest place that I know. I have been to the marina to capture pictures before, but I think this may be my favorite so far. I also love the reflection of the sky in the water. I do wish I had my tripod with me, but this is just one of those examples that if I don't bring it I will need it.

Under The Long Pier

I really enjoyed capturing pictures under this pier. I love how far and straight it went. Other piers seem to have a lot of obstruction as they go down, but this one seems to just go on. It is kind of mesmerizing just looking down the tunnel of the pier. I really like how this one came out, and I hope you like it also.

Red Chili Pepper 1

I enjoy doing product and still life photography. There is something about creating the scene that I find relaxing at times. I haven't spent enough time looking for things to use as subjects and I had broken down my product studio for another shoot, and I haven't set it back up yet. I also was looking for some solid reflective surfaces that I was never able to find. Someone suggested I look at flooring tiles, but they were either too small or has a lot of designs on them. Maybe I will start that search again.

Purple Sunrise Over Cherry Grove Pier

This was one of those sunrises that I couldn't tell if the sun was going to shine through the overcast. It didn't, but it really created a beautiful purple hue over the sky. It was absolutely beautiful, and I don't know if this picture does justice to the colors that I saw when I was capturing this.

Christmas Light Bulb

I did some more pictures of Christmas lights before I took them down off my porch this year. I had taken them down in preparation of moving, but I just found out some good news that I am going to be able to stay in this condo for at least another year. I really love doing pictures like this. I just love the colors so much. I hope you enjoy it also.

February Sunset Reflection

I didn't think anything of the sky when I was driving home, but then at a closer look I just had a feeling that the colors would be beautiful. I went to one of my go-to locations near my condo. I really love how still the water is and how it caught the reflection of the sunset.

February Sunset Over The Docks

This is a location that I had wanted to capture the sunset from for a while, but I could never figure out how to get there. The sunset was so colorful that I decided to try a little harder to find this location, and I am glad I did. The colors and the clouds just aligned almost perfectly. I hope you enjoy.

Path Through The Dunes

I've tried to do this shot a few times at a few different locations. This one was in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. I had gone up there to see if I could find some nice pictures in Wilmington, but I had forgotten to research some of the historic areas, so I had no clue where I was going and ended up at the beach.

Skywheel Sunset In January

I don't know if I never really looked before moving to South Carolina, but the sunsets and sunrises are amazing. What I really love about this picture is that I was able to capture the Skywheel and the 2nd Ave Pier in the same picture. The colors were absolutely amazing, and I am glad I decided to take the trip to the beach and hope the clouds would be in the right places for some color reflection.

Northern Cherry Grove Pier Sunset

I was told about a wonderful place to capture some beach pictures while I was at a coffee shop. I was just going to go and check it out, I didn't think that I would make it in time for the sunset, or that the clouds would open up even a little bit to show some color. The wide array of colors are absolutely amazing.

Pink Dogwood Tree

This was a lovely dogwood tree that was blooming with pink petals. At least, I think it was a dogwood tree. Sometimes I have trouble naming things. I captured this picture while I was living in Pennsylvania. I could always start using names that are very cryptic so people would have to wonder why I named something a particular way, but I like to be straight forward with my naming. My creativity isn't in my naming or descriptions, I like to let the picture that I captured do that.

Huntington Beach State Park January Sunset

I went to Huntington Beach State Park to capture the sunset. The guy taking the money reminded me that the park closes in 45 minutes. I said that is okay, I am just there to capture the sunset. He was a little perplexed, but he happily took my money. I was hoping some more of the clouds that were behind me to fill up the shot, but they stayed away. I like how I captured a few contrails from some of the airplanes that were in the sky.

Virgin Mary Statue

This is another statue that I came across while I was exploring some paths around a Catholic University in Pennsylvania. It was very well crafted and very well taken care of. I am sure someone took a lot of pride in keeping it clean beautiful.

January Full Moon Over The Beach

The moon wasn't exactly full at this point, but it was about 12 hours away, but I still think it was close enough to full to call it full. :) I captured this in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina during a wonderful and beautiful sunset. I do wish that I had captured it a little closer to the horizon, but I really do love the colors in the sky that the sunset was creating.

Warm Winter Day Sunset

Even though I was having some pretty bad anxiety on the way home today, I feel the strong urge to stop and capture this beautiful sunset from the beach. The colors were just absolutely lovely and the clouds just lined up so perfectly. I hope you enjoy this lovely picture.

St. Francis Statue At Catholic University

This is a small statue of St. Francis that I came across while exploring a Catholic University in Pennsylvania. It was very weathered, but very well crafted. He was known for communicating with animals and often preached naked in the streets. His like is very similar to Buddah and he is often depicted with birds.

Zippo Lighter Hinge Macro

I go through Zippo lighters quickly. I am not sure if it is because I always have it in my pocket, or because I use them so much, or maybe I am just buying cheap ones, but the hinges seem to break the most often. I also do play with them often because of my nervous hands. It isn't so bad, they aren't that expensive.

Burnt Sienna Crayola Crayon

Whenever I see pictures of crayons, they are perfect, unused and unmarked. I don't know if I like my pictures that clean. I think a used crayon tells more of a story than an unused one. Sure, the unused one is perfect, but who says the used one isn't perfect either. This one was used by my nieces, so maybe I am a little more attached to it than someone else would be.

Graves In A Row

There is something I always loved about this line of graves in a graveyard in West Chester, Pennsylvania. I would see them when I drove past and would always admire them, but would never stop to capture them. I am glad that I took the time one day to capture them.

Ice Covered Trees In Pennsylvania

As crazy as it sounds, I miss this about the North-East. I know it makes the roads dangerous, but, it was always so pretty to look at if you are where you are trying to get to and don't have to go anywhere. I wish I had explored during ice storms when I lived up there. I feel that I missed out on a lot of wonderful pictures, but I do have this one, and I hope you like it.

Rainy Pier In Charleston In Sepia

I love taking rainy pictures. The only problem with doing that is the mixture of rain and my camera. I took this in Charleston before I moved to South Carolina back in 2011. This is one of those pictures that I can look at and I love how it just fell together perfectly. Sometimes earlier on I didn't know how to properly compose my pictures. I am glad this one fell together as it did.
