Artist Statement

The reason why I love taking photographs is because photos can freeze time. Photos are the closes things we have to an actual time machine. By looking at a photo we can take a glimpse of the past. Photos can take us all the way back to the civil war. They can make us remember how cute our children were or funny story at a party. Photos tell a story no matter how simple it is. I take photos to tell a story to other people.

Cardinal

Cardinal: This is a photo of a cardinal, female, I took that flew to the deck. I took it through a glass door which I think helped caused the blurry background. If I changed anything I would have the cardinal a little bit more in focus.

Owl Face

Owl Face: This is a photo of an owl I saw at a fair. I believe it is a short eared, but I still have to work on my owl identification. I love how the owl is looking up.

Hey Camera!


Hey Camera!: This photo was taken at Underwater World. I like almost everything except I would aim a little lower next time getting more of my friends head and less of the water above. Otherwise I like everything about it.

Cat Eye

Cat Eye: This is a close up photo of my cat Hiro. What I like about this photo and the cat are the eyes. Hiro has orange eyes and come out really pretty in photos.

The Rough Legged Hawk

The Rough Legged Hawk: I took this photo when I was banding hawks. I really like how it appears to have sepia, but doesn't in truth. Also it would not be as good of a photo if the posture of the hawk was any different.

Photo of Rough-Legged Hawk

Photo of a Rough-Legged Hawk: This is a photo I told my dad to take when I was holding the rough-legged hawk. I really like the angle and the positioning of the people. As to the reason why it is now my heading, it fits my title and I have always had an obessesiong for hawks.
