In social psychology we are taught that emotional expression is "an observable verbal and nonverbal behavior that communicates emotion. Emotional expression can occur with or without self-awareness. An individual can control such expression, to some extent, and may have deliberate intent in displaying it."

My intention is to use photography as an outlet for emotional expression. My approach is very undomesticated, I give myself a good amount of freedom to capture moments as I see them and believe in exercising my practice often with good taste. Many of my photos display deep color saturation, contrast and depth of field, which is typically a product of my post-development process. I do spend a lot of my investment in post-development, typically only using Lightroom.

Flickr is amazing because of it's community. I truly benefit from access to other photographers who come from a vast spectrum of tastes and differences. It is a social phenomenon that is the key contribution to my amateur progression.
