contact sheets/ short strips of film: odd shuttersnaps
moments in time that i would normally
not be invited into, secret things revealed,
secrets kept recorded on film,
exposed by none other than light;
the natural agent that stimulates
sight and makes things visible.
something that makes vision possible,
makes things once unnoticed,things overlooked become meaningful.

Real photographers know how to take
an ordinary object and put meaning
into it, meaning that represents a cause.
They give photos a voice. -unknown

Weddings:
today, there are so many styles of shooting weddings. I sway toward the PhotoJournalistic/
Documentary style while including traditional portrait-syle and also throwing in some snap shotty images. i use my own style and my distintive eye to capture the moments that make this event beautiful, one-of-kind, sincere, & momentous. Basically, i'll take a list of shots from the couple & make sure those are satisified and then continuing on with important moments, & the beauty of what my eye can see.

Portraits to me are as similar as they are different from each other. Portrait photography, which is also called, often refered to as portraiture, is the art of capturing a subject or subjects in which the face, facial features as well as facial expressions are made predominant.
Let me introduce the Naylor baby, Joshua Wayne
Family
Like weddings, i take my own spin on event portraiture, or event photography; journalistic, yet beautiful, moments missed in the hustle & bustle, flashes that you'll remember forever, breaths of time forever frozen to live over & over again.

Events
Shots of Nature; being at the right place at that God-given moment, where the magic happens. Let's you see through my eyes, the vision, the secrets, the world as only i see it.
Nature
to me photography is about the capture, of the moment, the feeling, the atmosphere,
it is about being within that moment & being able to tell the story, to share that moment with others.
