I like taking photos sometimes.

I like:

Big apertures.

Bright light.

Bold colors.

Clarity.

Pixels.

Full resolution.

Texture.

Some grain.

Huge file sizes.

Non-overbearing-bokeh*.

And no watermarks.

* Sometimes I can't help it...

I basically want to take photos that someone would want to make their desktop wallpaper. So that means not skimping on the quality. You can see my self-curated "best of" set here: Best Of Album. An album dedicated to my wallpaper-worthy photos are kept here: Wallpapers Album.

I've also dabbled a little bit into "artistic" non-sense, which you can view here: Innerspeaker Photo Set

Also, when it comes to Flickr I'm a very selective uploader. My shot-percentage is probably 10%. So if you want to browse my profile or add me as a contact, you won't get 100 photos of the same scene, object, or person. If I find myself holding down the sequential shutter, I may post one or two of the 30 I get. Quality* over quantity*.

* In theory...

I already earn a living, so it's not like I'd really care if people want to download my photos for their own use, so no watermarks. I've labeled most of my photos here with the proper CC licenses. There are exceptions: If myself or someone I know personally is in the photo or it is a photo I believe is particularly good I reserve all rights.

But if you do use my photos in something cool, let me know!

Just don't take credit for it, and if you try to make money off them directly, I'll come for you out of principle and out of spite. Free as in freedom, not beer.

If you're just using a photo for illustration in an ad-supported website, I won't mind. I just don't want my photos to get sold directly or published without my knowledge or permission. If you're not sure or really want me to make an exception, message me.
