H2O

Hey all.

I don't know that I believe in astrology as anything other than a form of entertainment, but my sign is Pisces and I really do love water. I grew up in the Midwest and didn't get to spend too much time near any great bodies of water, but whenever I'm near a lake or a river or even the rain, I feel right. I get relaxed and chill and my mood instantly improves. Partly, this is why I was going to attend school in Seattle.

I like to think that the best photos I've ever taken have all been done to illustrate things that I love. Taking pictures matters more to me when I'm taking pictures of something I want to share, something I want to remember, something I want to capture. For me, it's all about combining that jolt I get from photography with the energy I get from what matters to me. Pairs of combined loves. Photography & Music. Photography & Color. Photography & Nature. Photography & Water.

Anyway, enough rambling. Here are some of the photos I've taken of water that I like the best. (I thought this was a fitting entry for our hottest day of the summer thus far...102 degrees, blech)
