I shoot to play with art. I treat photography as a way to explore art design concepts such as line, shape, and balance, but also as a way to commune with nature and experience heightened visual awareness. I am also somewhat of a gearhead, as I also enjoy speculating about future technologies and gizmos, and discussing to get a sense of the potential of exciting new systems, like the Pentax IBIS was when I was using the K100D. I am currently enjoying sharing my enthusiasm about the new Samsung NX system, and shooting with an NX200+30mm/2.
