The most difficult shot I have ever taken: hands shaking and consumed by the emotional trauma people have when encountering deformity exacerbated by the guilt that your reactions have betrayed you. After assisting him across the road in downtown Phnom Penh I asked if I could take the shot and he assented. A lovely gentile man his interior, the fine negative of his developed exterior; sadly a negative that will remain unseen in the darkroom of our myopic world which often frames through a filter of morbid curiosity. How must it feel to live in such a shell, each encounter punctuated with a thinly veiled decaying façade of familiarity? Or else open hostility rooted in fear.
As a (very amateur) photographer I’m conflicted in taking and posting such shots (this was taken months back). Perhaps though, familiarity fosters understanding…. and at the very least a heightened sense of perspective.
This perspective is based on lighting. Diffused lighting cause difficulty in seeing the form or volume of the object because of the lack of distinct shadows. Strong directional lighting from angles causes the object to be fully lit and other parts to be shadowed which creates a visual clue of the subject's form or volume. When a number of such objects are included within the picture area, the perception of form, volume and depth is increased. When front or side lighting is used, the length, depth, and shape of the shadows cast on the ground provide a perspective of each object's volume. Also, the distance between shadows cast on the ground helps you to perceive the overall depth of the scene.
The USS Wasp is about 840 feet long and the flight deck is about 100 feet wide. Plenty of room for four US Football games, or 3.5 Canadian games.
Finally got my hands on a full frame 5D3. I've wanted a full frame camera since 2010...so I took a leap and I got one.
After learning about photography and it's many creative outlets, I have tried to learn about various techniques, styles, tricks, guides, tips, hacks and more to become a full time hobbyist and a semi-professional.
I also love to express myself by capturing life. Life to me is all of creation. Whether it's the gorgeously painted sunsets or frosty, semi-solid icicles, I love that we are given little wonders that can give us perspective or fill us with curiosity. Some times we fail to gain perspective by simply lifting our head or bending down. Tonight I lifted my head to see stars in the sky...I was inspired to capture their light and unintentionally gained perspective into the vast expanse that is our universe.
The window was opened and this spinning blue ball allowed me to capture the light way beyond this world with a perspective that doesn't separate us from the extra-terrestrial but only seems to bring it closer together despite the billions and trillions of miles between.
This world is a fantastic place and I appreciate the beauty that God has allowed me to see.

This was done with 5th grade to teach perspective. They had to have 1 vanishing point and 9 or more boxes. They had to create a "connector" to connect the boxes together. I saw everything from stretch limousines, to hotdogs, to giraffe necks. Color pencil, used complementary colors for shadowed sides, used tints for highlighted sides. Took forever, but they learned a lot.
