"The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking." - Brooks Atkinson

Photoshop Resources

Sometimes when I learn something, I figure out another way to do it, or sometimes I discover a certain effect on my own and find it quite interesting. Either way, I like to share with the community the techniques I learn and hope to inspire others to create outstanding works of art for their gallery.

Personal Favourites

Works from my gallery which have a special meaning to me, whether it's the subject or the experience I had while shooting them.

While this is a beautiful scene of a place I would love to visit myself, I felt like there were a few things I needed to say. I hope I ...

First of all, I want to express my apologies for not thanking anyone for their favourites over the last week. I have been terribly busy, and just haven't had the time. I am very very grateful though, so THANK YOU ALL!!! I also want to say sorry for taking a while to respond to messages too, but I'm doing my best to keep up. I'll try to make a better effort to keep up from now on.

There's not a whole lot else to say, really, but here's a quick rundown of the past month. Since I've been busy with other matters, I've only done a couple shoots. Both were places I felt like revisiting - the Bloedel Conservatory at Queen Elizabeth Park (thanks to my friend =Andrea-Reyes for inspiring me to go), and Point Atkinson (thank you Mother Nature for being on my side). A few shots from each are already in my gallery, but if you'd like to see more, just let me know and I'll see what I can do. I'll be seeing The Fury again on Saturday. I recently picked up a Nikon SB-600 Speedlight, so hopefully it helps at the show. I'm saving up for a Nikon D300 or D300S to replace my doomed D40, and I'm hoping I get a chance to pick up a Sigma 17-70mm as soon as I can. Last but not least, an opportunity has arisen for me to improve my photography overall. Not releasing details yet until everything is finalized, but I will say that this shall be the best thing to have ever happened to me from a professional point of view. Trust me, it's a big step! :D
