[Not a valid template] I have always enjoyed visiting beautiful places, and taking photographs has allowed me to revisit those locations over and over again. I have found my interests varying from images of nature to more unusual subject matter and back again. I find subjects in a flower garden, abandoned buildings, fishing vessels and scenes along the shore. I find the colors of the finished photos to be of more interest to me than the subject matter. Digital photography allows me the freedom to turn the ordinary into something that I find extraordinary. Manipulating colors allows you see more in the image; something that you may have missed otherwise.
