Welcome to my abstract photography page, this is where things get a little weird!
There are often days when I find myself unable to leave the house for an adventure with my camera in hand. Sometimes that’s due to my schedule, often its due to my health limitations. I have a rare condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia which causes extreme nerve pain in my face. (I would say google it or ask Jeeves for more info, but don’t, it’s depressing.) Basically, the wind and the cold are my enemies and can trigger worse than usual pain, which is why I often wear a mask when I brave the outdoors.
For me, photography is therapeutic, a reminder of beauty that exists around us even when life feels difficult. On days I find myself home, I still have a desire to create and capture art with my camera. My abstract photos represent those moments. All of these photos are just that, photos. No editing tricks, just innovation to fight off stagnation.
I hope you enjoy!
