I am an amateur photographer who enjoys gazing at others' photos. I really enjoy playing around with photoshop. I taught myself to use photoshop, and enjoy simply experimenting with the program to create new ways of looking at things. I've switched to using Affinity Photo due to the cost of subscribing to Adobe projects, and am quite happy with the capabilities. Sometimes I approach a specific project with an idea in mind, and other times I'll just fiddle with it for a while until I see something I like.

My camera burned up in the Valley Fire along with most of my belongings. Since then I've shot strictly with my iPhone 5s. It's a great camera, though I do find myself somewhat limited in terms of how I used to shoot with multiple lenses.

I have found Flickr to be a truly inspiration place, and I often get ideas for new projects or shoots from this wonderful community. Thanks for all of your wonderful ideas and posts everyone.
