My name is Austin, I'm Kentucky-based, and I do Photography as a hobby that on occasion acts as a business. But let's be honest, photography isn't really work - it's therapy, and that's why I love it. Cars are my passion, so naturally, I specialize in Automotive Photography of any kind. I also work very well with Event Coverage, Residential / Architectural, and Landscape Photography. I'm currently a Journalist and Photographer for the largest Automotive website in the world, CarDomain.com. I'm always learning, so don't hesitate to contact me with comments and criticism!

I've always been fascinated with Photography, but it wasn't until the past couple years that I started taking higher grade photos. I currently use a Canon EOS Rebel T2i, and formerly used an Olympus E-500 Camera and do any after effects / enhancements in Adobe Photoshop CS4.

Some of my photos are already available as prints and can either be viewed and purchased through the link listed in their Flickr description or through my website's print gallery. If the photo that you would like to purchase as is currently not available, simply click here and submit a request. There is no extra cost to request a non-listed photo and I'll gladly make a print of any photo I've listed on my photostream!

Comments on photos

Commenting on my photos has been opened to everyone. However, group promotion and self-promotion is not particularly appreciated. Any user who promotes themselves or a group will have their comment immediately deleted and be denied access to any further commenting on my photostream, adding any of my photos to their favorites, contacting me via FlickrMail, becoming my contact (removed from contacts if already a contact), etc. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but anyone who's put themselves into their work (which just about everyone on flickr has) knows how aggravating it can be to come across comments without substance. If you simply like my photo, please just add it to your favorites. However, if you've really got something to say about it (perhaps discussing perspective or the story behind the photo) then, by all means, comment all you want!

Notes, tags, and people in photos

Notes, tags, and people in my photos have been restricted to contacts only. If you would like to become a contact, simply add me and send me a FlickrMail PM! I do not discriminate with my contacts, so anyone can achieve this position.

Downloading full-res photos

Downloading my photos in their original form has been restricted to contacts only. Just as with note permissions, simply add me and send me a FlickrMail PM to become a contact. All photos, including those downloaded in their original form, retain their copyright and may not be used or distributed in any way without my explicit, written permission. Again, all you need to do to obtain written permission is PM me!

Favorites and group invites on photos

Favorites and invites on my photos have been opened to everyone. I always enjoy adding my shots to new groups, so invite as much as you want. (Note that there is a difference between a group promo and a physical group invitation). Also, rather than feel obligated to leave a comment on a photo you like, simply add it to your favorites!
