I have been around photography all my life - my mother is a professional photographer. I've been a professional as well, I guess you could say, for quite a while now, covering weddings and dabbling a bit in photojournalism for tiny publications. Regardless of my professional status, I count photography as one of my passions (which also includes music and writing).
I am the owner of Organic Exposure, a photography business based in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Testimonials
not only is ben brilliant with a camera, but he's also a nice guy. that's a rare find these days. i guess i need to thank (or blame) ben for cultivating my flickr obsession, which has now turned into something i'm going to need therapy for in the future.
Ben's work makes me grin. He captures life in freezeframes I would probably never see. At least we get to enjoy them through his eyes.

You don't know. Ben can show you, someday, but you just don't know how deeply talented he is. Songwriter, musician, vocalist - all superb. Right-brained, he is. And then, there are the photographs. For a person's work to stand out so blatantly from so many others' is a bit unsettling. If you threw prints taken by 1000 Flickr members onto a table, you could spot Ben's work. Or rather, it spots you. It reaches up and grabs you, causing you to lose balance and fall right into the image itself. Now, this isn't done with the very best camera, or by the oldest, wisest photog -- this is done with the man's SOUL. And if that's all you ask for in a photograph, you've found Mecca. And STILL, you don't know how much he can still accomplish; how high he can climb on his own personal height chart. But, you will soon. Just don't blink.
