I use photography as a simple means to journal and visually document my experiences when there is no time to stop and paint. Photos mainly serve to remind myself of the things I see that inspire me, but I apply photo editing tools to study composition, color harmony, value, etc. 

 

I find some of the images I collect to be successful compositions as they are, they are stand-alone, balanced arrangements -- Pleasing reminders and independent memoirs of my personal experiences.
