the roadside scholar's photostream |
Oh hi there. I'm a Chicago-based self-taught photographer. I've been taking photos since I was a kid but I think I'm better now than when I was 11.
Photography forces me to dig deep, to quiet my mind, to search for poetry in the everyday. There is hidden charm, allure and beauty all around us, waiting to be released. To find and record it is to help remind me that it's here right in front of my face, everyday.
My camera comes with me everywhere, because you never know what you might see.
You can see what is striking my fancy currently on my contemporary art and decor blog:

and you can come say hi at my Etsy shop too:
