I'm neither a pro nor a hobbyist. I'm just a guy who takes pictures of whatever amazing/odd/interesting things come his way. Most of my pictures aren't the picture I might want to take, but rather the one I was in position to take.

As such, my photos are generally not retouched or altered in any way (not even cropping out random elbows stuck in my way). If I did any of that, I would note it, because I don't want to misrepresent what people are seeing.
