Life is literally but a vapor, we must live spontaneously, be daring in the moments when they seem uncomfortable, always be positive and enjoy life as it comes from one moment to the next..


Most of my photography is taken on the move. I take great pride and precision in my selection process of which photos I work with and I believe that anyone who's bravely battled Cancer is a true Hero. That deserves my very best that I can offer.

When a person of importance dies in The United States of America, we lower our country's flag to half mast out of respect and honor for their life.
Cancer knows no boundaries of Country, race, color, religion, language or gender. My photography is dedicated to the brave, survivors and departed.

Half mast sunsets in honor of those who fought and continue to fight bravely against Cancer.
Love you Mom

To Eric and Luke.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was Taken about 10 minutes from Denver International Airport. Roughly about 20 minutes from Downtown Denver facing west. In an empty field facing the Mountains located behind Denver public school.

Time

I very clearly remember taking this Photo because I was on my way home from work at 5:30 pm. When I saw the sun hiding behind the clouds and its light showering the sky I couldn't resist! The shot took me minutes to capture.

Lighting

The Sun was in its beginning stages of Setting for the Evening, which means every shot counts. From minutes to seconds the Sun is rapidly lowering. I saw the Sun was giving off just enough Light to have a great shot. My shot was hanging in the balance of my speed to stop my truck and take the picture as soon as possible.

Equipment

All of my pictures have been taken with My Samsung Note 4 or my Iphone 6 plus. I did not use a flash.

Inspiration

When a president of the United States Dies, the American Flag is ordered to fly at half mast for that entire day in honor of their life's accomplishments. In all of my photos The sun is setting, I have named them half mast sun sets and dedicated them to all cancer survivors and the departed. In my eyes anyone who has fought cancer, win or lose, you're a hero that deserves recognition In the highest respect. I honor all of them with the message behind my photography. Two very special people to me died In 2017 from cancer. I dedicate my photography to them. I promote cancer awareness with my work. My work is meant to inspire. I love you Mom.

Editing

I did use some post processing. I used an HDR scape filter giving it a little more Orange and yellow to mix with the baby blue in the sky. I then fine tuned it with selective brushing throughout various spots in the Photograph giving it that raw glamour.

In my camera bag

I honestly wish I could tell you I use fancy equipment and have had schooling and professional training to bring to life of photography, unfortunately that is not the case. I have an eye for the shots I desire to take, the right timing to capture them and a cell phone in my pocket. I take a lot of pride in every shot that I choose to share with the world.

Feedback

My advice would be, to have a genuine passion for your work. Your passion gives you the ability to speak to the audience through your photography. Being a Successful photographer is someone who perfectly displays their work to an audience of one. Be ready to take those picture perfect moments! Don't be afraid to show your creativity. Being original and doing something that no one has ever done is scary but worth it for the chance to seize the day!
