Urban Landscape + Lifestyle Photography

I am an Austin, Texas based photographer mainly taking images of Urban Landscapes. What is an Urban Landscape? I’m not sure if its an official term but I consider it landscape photography with images of man-made stuff in them. It could include mostly nature photographs with bridges or it can include downtown skylines and architecture. I shoot in several different styles but my focus tends to be the everyday things around us. I have images of the cities that I visit, including the architecture and street life. I have bits of nature and how it blends with the ever expanding man-made world. I also include events and performances that that seems neat and interesting that enrich our busy and complex lives.

My real interest in photography started with digital and while I shot film, they were mainly snapshots. My desire to capture life with my family and friends continued to grow and accelerate after purchasing my first DSLR, a Canon Rebel XT. Since then I have upgraded my equipment and hopefully my skills as a photographer. My photography expanded greatly when I joined Flickr, my first step into social networking. I branched out into capturing the environment and world around me, which was the origin of my urban landscapes. My desire to move beyond Flickr has resulted in this website that contains my photography gallery and blog. I also wrote more about my move beyond Flickr on my first blog post entitled “Next Steps”. Flickr is still very important to me. I’ve met many great friends online as well as in person through Flickr. I view this site as more of an expansion of my online presence and a way to tell more stories about my photography.

In my blog, I am hoping to share my thoughts behind my photographs. I usually give a background about the photo, what I was trying to achieve and the technical details about the image. When I got started in photography, I was always curious about the why behind the photograph in addition to the how. Giving my readers the how and why behind my images is one of my goals. I will also share places that I think are interesting for photography as well as equipment and tricks that I find along the way. Many of my images will be around Austin, Texas but I will also add photographs of other locations that I visit. Keep in mind that you can see larger versions of the images I use on my blog by clicking on them. This way you can hopefully enjoy the details that you might not see in the smaller blog photo.

Photography has also be the catalyst that got me into the various forms of social networking. I’m still playing and learning about the different sites and what they offer. This is a list of places that you can follow and contact me as I weave myself around the rapidly changing and growing online community.
