Nocturnal Alchemy's photostream

We live in an age of information smog. I don't want to be a part of that, so I only put up specific pictures for you to see. They are the pictures that I like to see. The rest is sitting in storage on my computer. I think that if we all try a little harder, we can cut some of the BS out of our information overload.

Sometimes I go back and re-edit the pictures--- it's a work in progress, and hopefully I am getting better at it every day. If a picture gets no response, I'll take it down because it isn't interesting to the Flickr community. These pages are more centered on crowd pleasing than art.

I like to shoot mostly at night and am developing a body of photographic work. I like shooting landscapes, abandoned junk, patterns and textures, bright neon signs in weird places, anything that is a little off the beaten path. Meanwhile I have a lot of fun visiting interesting places and meeting interesting people while I create images.

I own a Nikon D40X and a huge Quantaray strobe, but I use mostly ambient and moon light in my work. I've integrated flashlights into some of my work and love to use colored gels with LEDs. It's all about the fun of getting the shot.

My goal is to improve my artistry and develop a photographic vision. I love to hear from people around the world and try to make contacts all the time. Please feel free to make me your contact if you like my work.
