I take photos for one simple reason, I love to. I want to capture the beauty in front of me, so that I may keep it timeless forever. When people look at my work I went them to see and feel my emotions, bask in the light emanating, from somewhere behind the glass and perhaps even spark a memory. My favorite part of presenting my work is to see the reactions on people’s faces.

 

The decisions I make in my pieces are based on finding the beauty in everyday life that others may overlook or think does not exist. The most striking attribute of my work, I think is my play with light and how it enhances and animates what I am photographing.

 

My current work expresses more of my creative side. It is reflecting more of what is becoming, “my style.” The main ingredients to making my style of photographs are, intriguing light, raw emotion, strong foreground presence, and last but not least a sense of depth. With my work I hope to frame a small piece of myself to share with all who look upon it.

Testimonials

Since finding Del's Photo Stream I've been very impressed with his work. Being disabled myself I can understand what it takes to get out and Photograph the World around us and it makes his work even that more stunning. With such an Eagle eye for detail I can't wait to see what he posts next.

You never know how things are going to go when we meet a stranger, or better yet a friend you've never met. Meeting them for the first time, you kind of wonder if they are going to be as friendly and as easy going as how you know them online. Del recently contacted me and suggested that we get together for a photoshoot, and I agreed that would be a good idea. Especially since we both live in the same area and it is always nice to know fellow photogs that you can get together and shoot with. After spending an afternoon shooting with this guy and getting to know more about him and his plight, both in life and in the photographic world I am convinced that I have found yet another great friend on the pages of Flickr. Take the time to go through Del's stream and let him know you stopped by to check out his page. Thanks again brother!
