Pictures taken mostly with a Nikon D70 (now a Nikon D300) and a 35-80mm lens, usually with a UV and polarized filter. Recently I've been posting iPhone pics as well. Uploaded without any photoshopping, cropping or digital alterations except for a handful from 2005 and before. To get my color palette, i usually underexpose with the WB set for shade and film speed at 200.

When you paint, try to put down exactly what you see. Whatever else you have to offer will come out anyway.
I regret very much that I have painted a picture that requires any description.

Yellow is a light which has been dampened by darkness...Blue is a darkness weakened by the light.

And now have i not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the senses?

The imagination loses vitality as it ceases to adhere to what is real. When it adheres to the unreal and intensifies what is unreal, while its first effect may be extraordinary, that effect is the maximum effect that it will ever have.

Katrencik as a person appears to be of endless depth and cleverly and colorfully manages to portray that very clearly in an online cyber presence and vivid imagry!
I'm continually amazed at the number of interesting compositions he finds within a small swath of Pennsylvania. Anytime I find myself yearning for a new local to shoot, he reminds me to think a little closer to home.
Katrencik has an array of impressive photos. I especially enjoy the country landscapes. All of his photos are very well categorized as well. His album for the variety of methods he employs is particularly interesting.
