My favorite styles of photography are color isolation and tilt-shift. I like to use color isolation to create emphasis on certain items. I like to use it, but I don't overuse it. I like the tilt-shift because It makes big things look small and miniature. I like these because they create special effects.

My favorite subjects to photograph are landscapes and scenery. I like it because it can be unpredictable but predictable at the same time. I also love the fact that I can take it slowly and fully take it in, unlike high action subjects like sports. There is usually a second chance with nature and landscapes because they don't change as rapidly and I go back and take different angles or use different settings. To me it's a very flexible and forgiving subject.

I was never really into Valentine's Day. I always called it "single awareness day". As a kid in elementary school we would obviously pass out cards to everyone but that was on a "everyone gets one" basis. Most of those cards never meant anything. Besides, why show love on just one day of the year or more on just one day of the year? Love isn't just a one day act.

I take photos because it's one of my passions. It's really amazing seeing the world from a new perspective that normally I wouldn't see. Whether the photos are composed or documenting an event it's just really fun to see what I can take and see how they can be touched up or edited. Light painting, selective coloring, and the tilt-shift (miniature) effect are my favorite categories in photography because they require the photographer to be creative. Photography is a form of self expression and I just love being able to be creative.
