Howzit! The name is Patrick and I'm an aspiring painter(when the muse is there), avid chef, wannabe traveler, but foremost I'm a photographer. What I love about photography is that it "captures the essence of a moment as it really was at that time. This is what photography does that painting, drawing and language cannot" -Tommy. I don't like the confines of a studio, but prefer using the world as my backdrop. I love shooting during the golden hour. The whole sky seems to burst with color. Flickr has been a great class room, source of inspiration and photo journal for myself. Joe Mcnally and Dan Winters have been a great inspiration for my photography.

Maholo! Thanks for visiting you're alright.
