My name is David Ruff and I am an amateur photographer and visual artist in Chicago, Illinois.

Since an early age I have been involved in art, but for the past 15 years have not been actively creating. This changed when I got a Nikon D80 camera a few years ago. Since then I have documented and photgraphed anything and everything. I will be posting the fruits of my labor as time goes on.

I am currently working on a few different projects that I will be posting in the near future. My biggest project at the moment is my Powerpoint images that I have been posting recently. I am exploring a lot of the base emotional core of the human psyche from happiness to sorrow and all in between. I decided to document all of those using myself and my friends as the basis.

Also check me out on tumblr at ruffmadeart.tumblr.com/ . On there I havew some of the shots I have displayed here, but also I will be posting the making of shots and artwork.

I also am interested in more forms of media. I do graphics and designs using Powerpoint as well as other unconventional means.
