Ame Otoko's photostream  

First of all, I love Flickr because it allows people all over the world of different ethnicities, religions, and life stories to connect with one another through the love of something so simple as a captured moment in time. I enjoy making friends with people everyone who share my love of photography.

I love the visual arts, but I practice photography as a hobby and to create images I can use in my work as visual communication. I consider myself a lifelong learner, although I have been shooting photographs since my early teens over 20 years ago. My favorite subjects are travel, landscape, macro, and my two children who never cease to entertain me.

I love to manipulate color to match the mood of the photo, either subdued or super saturated. We see things realistically everyday; isn't it fun to be able to see things differently in photographs? To me, post production is part of the fun.

Some of my photos are available for sale as prints at my Zenfolio gallery starting at $10. If you don't see a picture you would like to purchase, email me and I will try to make it available to you. ameotoko.zenfolio.com/
