Life of the CREATIVE GEEK

Often times , as a photographer I HAVE to create my own challenges. I have to set my own guidelines as to SET myself apart... to DEFINE myself. We can get those happy, crisp white background, smiling images but what happens when you push against the grain? How do you capture just raw fundamental emotion? Cut the smiles. Cut the color. Strip it all down and you get to delve into what drives me as a photographer. Simple but yet speaks volumes. I see strength of character, love, power...I see behind the smile....

A tiny secret lies in the shadows of metro Birmingham. An urban garden, teaching how to make the community a healthier place, empowering and educating future generations. Remember, "you are what you eat." A beautiful day to be out photographing God's beauty... Thanks for stopping by--                                     MNJ
