Day 15

Nikon D90

50 mm (1.8)

Technology has taken everything we do and turned it around. No longer do we have to know where we are going, visit a library, or just start talking to a girl at a bar. A few clicks and a form or two to fill out and everything is charted right in front of u.
I wonder what it was like with no TV, cell phones, or cars. Where is would take many many months to travel to another state, where people had conversations face to face, or simply just went outside and ran around a field.
Im probably the most guilty of anyone I know, I love my technology. Since being here though Ive really start to see the beauty in the things around me, like a farm during the sunset, or just a view of the woods during sunrise.....
My perspective on things is defiantly changing in a positive way and I like to thing for the better but regardless im smiling and really thats all that matters to me.




Day 14

The Light shall always overcome the darkness










Day 13

Nikon D90

50 mm (1.8)

The beauty of this state does not cese to amaze me. You got this crazy city with all the buildings, traffic, and people ..... then it turns into this widespread countryside where corn fields and horses are plentiful. How could anyone not like this state.






Day 12

Nikon D90

50 mm (1.8)

Kids have a amazing effect on people... things you never though in a million years you would/could do and here you are doing it all because of a simple please or a smile that you just can't deny.

They make your world go around and they give it a good stirring as well....but at the end of it all, at the end of the day when you put them down for the night, watch their eyes slowly close into a peaceful slumber...

Its these moments that make life so great.... cherish them, embrace them, love them. You only get one shot in this world, one shot to create as many memories as possible.....make it count.




Day 11

Nikon D90

50 mm (1.8)

You may hate, dislike, or get annoyed by them. You may not have anything in common
You may only talk once a year to one another
But when everyone is together laughing and smiling
You tend to forget about all the other stuff

Can you see through the looking glass?

"Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space. It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe. It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished. ~Michael Strassfeld"




Day 8

Nikon D90

50 mm (1.8)

"You heard it second because he said it first"

The other major reason why I moved up here to the great city of Pittsburgh is because of the one and only Ron Pushak.

The first time I met Ron we instantly became friends and started shooting. One thing led to another and now I'm hear learning what I can off these guys and making things happen for the 3 of us.

Day 7

Day 7

Canon 40D

Canon 50mm (1.4)

"I could take a shot of shit and make it look like fine art"

A good part of the reason why I moved up here to the great state known as PA is because of this guy. The first day I met Travis he had me stick my face to a piece of glass for a photo experiment and he couldn't get rid of me since.






Day 6

Nikon D90

Sigma 28-70

This is now my home, it's been a month now and it's starting to feel more and more like it. I've made so many new friends and have friends that treat me like family. I've haven't been this happy in a long time and feel like I'm starting to be more like the person that everyone knew once again. Best part is this is the only the tip of the berrg.




Day 5

Nikon D90

Sigma 28-70

Phenomenal day got to see Rusted Root play in a giant field here in pittsburgh...the best part about this whole concert was seeing all these people just smiling from ear to ear enjoying the music and simply loving life. Sometimes events like that are good for reminding people what it means to smile.




Day 4

Nikon D90

Sigma 28-70

"The key to change... is to let go of fear.”

Im here for a reason and there is no turning back, I knew this wouldn't be easy but if it was I wouldn't love what I do so much. I haven't smiled so much or felt so much like myself before this. The time to come alive is now.

The highlight of my day barely making in time to see rising Regina playing one of my favorite songs.... Haven't heard of them look them up.
