Life has a way of revealing itself to you--if you just slow down long enough to watch and listen. That's exactly what I do as an artist: I observe and make art of the "everyday." There is beauty everywhere. Take a look at my macro photography for examples.

I work, live and take photos in Los Angeles, California.

My primary camera is a Nikon D70s.

It's equipped with profoto strobes and various lenses:
Nikkor 12-24mm, 50mm f/1.4 D prime, 85mm f/1.8 D prime 105mm f/2.8G, 70-300mm

Do you use a 105mm lens (Nikkor or otherwise?) If so, join my 105mm group.

Do you live in LA? Join my Angeleno group.

If you have a flare for dramatic or artistic self portraits, join Turning the Lens on Flickr.

    "Although Nicholas is quickly (and impressively) going the portraiture route with his beautiful photography, he will always be -- for me -- a master of macros. Armed with his 105mm lens, Nicholas has discovered entire planets in a patch of rust, entire galaxies in the unfolding petals of a single sunflower. There is a quietness to Nicholas's images, a total absence of distraction. He focuses in on his subject with a surgeon's precision, and the world melts suddenly away. A devotee to craft, he is constantly learning, constantly pushing his limits. He is a gracious commenter and an encouraging friend. Nicholas truly has the soul of a poet -- and the hair of one, too, the lucky bastard ;-)"

    "Nicholas A continues to develop his skills as a photographer - his technical talent as well as his artistic vision. It is always a joy to view his latest photos and see what he's working on or experimenting with. Of course, I am partial to his flower and nature shots!"
