Pictures tell a Story - What is your Story?
Animals
From dogs, to cats, to ducks and birds - including insects - we can capture it all (okay, maybe not all 100% of the time - some subjects just cannot be captured in enough clarity to view on a print - social media - yes). Butterflies are rather flighty and their eyes are at times difficult for the camera to capture.
Street Scenes & City Scapes
Each avenue, road, street can tell a different and unique story. City's have their own culture through their history and heritage - a unique perspective in and of itself.
Landscapes
Either at night or in full sun, the beauty of planet Earth can at times be unmatched when capture through photography.
The Ocean
The ocean never rests - at times, the soothing sounds of waves crashing along the shore is a great way to relax and fall asleep. Viewing a picture at the same times as listening to the waves may be even more effective in relaxing.
