Someone asked me what I meant by my urine filter phase. Everyone talks about how the market for photography has become saturated with amateurs. I am no different, in an attempt to par off with my cohorts there was a time when I adopted extreme color shifts, awkward tilts, cut of limbs trying to stand out. I like to think I’ve come a long way from those days. Flavor of the moments happens to be more realistic renditions. Though, that in now way means that I am against unique crops and tilt-shift lenses. I know plenty of people that abhor the idea of destroying photography with such sillyness. I intend to go with everything in moderation. I will at times shoot into light sources for the exact purpose of introducing flare; then I will go into Photoshop and bring out that flare with 7 adjustment layers, ADD noise and oversharpen. Yeah! That just happened.
