My interest in photography started when I found myself wanting more beauty in my life... and I realized that it's all around me if I look closely enough. I was intrigued to find that even though photos document solely what is in front of you, it frequently creates an impression that doesn't match reality. So many of my pictures seem a bit surreal, but I do zero digital retouching beyond the occasional cropping or converting a picture to sepia.
