Photography has long been the art medium of the common man. It allows the most inept among us to produce display-worthy images (except my brother - he can't take a simple snapshot without missing the subject). I have studied photography since a very young age. I was the high school newspaper photographer. I worked with some of the greats in commercial photography while in the ad biz, especially while working for Vivitar (back when Vivitar was producing popular flashes and lenses). When I studied art, we went to museums to copy the works of masters to learn the craft. Where does a photographer go to find copy-worthy photographic art? I recently discovered viewbug (or they discovered me - I don't remember which - I'm old). I recommend it highly...

CPT Jack Durish Photography is a great medium for those of us less artistically inclined types. It's interesting to learn how to take pictures from different perspectives to change the way in which an object or scene is viewed. Thanks so much for the viewbug link. Here's one you might like.

Life inspires me. Nature, animals and even the concrete jungle. I love life...all that it has to offer and I love capturing in through my lens...the way I see it....in my head. I love color, but I love black and white too.

After capturing LIFE the way I see it....I put it out there in hopes that it may brighten up just one person's day....

Here is a page of some of my work that was inspired through LIFE.

The background is part of the Lion's exhibit, Kelli. In front of the Lion is a 2 inch bullet proof glass. The whole exhibit is indoors.
