"Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst." - Henri Cartier-Bresson

 

I'm a software engineer, an adjunct instructor in Christian spiritual formation and Celtic Christianity, a husband and fatherx2, a fan of cars and motorcycles and bicycles, a chronic migraineur, a musician and music photographer, a gardener, a failed church planter, a reader.

 

I love photography that reminds me of simplicity and reality. Consequently, I think HDR should be punishable by life imprisonment in 99% of cases.

 

My main photo site is at and ishootyoulive.com/. Find me also at about.me/patl/ and www.facebook.com/iShootYouLive.

 

I love photography, because it makes me observe the world that I normally stumble through.

 

I shoot digital (Fujifilm X100s, Canon 1D Mk II and Canon 30D are my primary bodies) and film (various, but a Bessa R and a couple of Olympus XA's are always handy).

 

I love to shoot music and musicians, travel and events, or anything that catches my eye.

I wish I could shoot people half as well as Pat. He has a great eye for living and the moments of every day life. In addition to that he's a fairly cool guy, even if he does a Harley.

He takes his camera with him everywhere it seems and he takes shots throughout his journey to work and around the Snoqualmie Valley. I feel like I'm seeing the world through his eyes and… Read more

I really enjoy seeing Pat's photos appear on my Contact's page. He has a great ability to capture the beauty in an ordinary scene. He takes his camera with him everywhere it seems and he takes shots throughout his journey to work and around the Snoqualmie Valley. I feel like I'm seeing the world through his eyes and I like what I see. Keep up the great work!
