A day at my friend's house near the Nantahala River

I am by no means a trained photographer. I know nothing of shutter speed and aperture and all that stuff. But, I love how photography allows me to capture things that catch my eye.

When photographing, I enjoy finding either interesting subjects; interesting perspectives (usually highlighting negative space); contrasting patterns and lines; and shadows and light.

Here is a fun perspective of my daughter on a tree swing....

This one is all about the lines and the light.

And here we have an intersting subject matter (Santa Claus cut-out) and way cool meshing of light and shadows on the double paned window.
