I am a dreamer, revolutionary, pacifist. romantic, and most of all an artist.

In a little house keep I pictures suspended, it is not a fixed house, It is round, it is only a few inches from one side to the other; Yet behold, it has room for all the shows of the world, all memories!
Here the tableau's of life, and here the groupings of death; Here, do you know this? This is cicerone himself,
With finger raised he points to the prodigal pictures.

-My Picture-Gallery
By Walt Whitman 1819-1892

My Goal as a photographer is to make something beautiful or ugly change the casual viewer. Many see a picture but hardly ever get something out of it. Anything can be captured, it's whether it's created into art or simply a transformation to astonish. My name is Sean Urbanek and here I am making something of myself everyday. I take what I have and I create.

I am 22 years old born and raised in Seward, Nebraska. I moved to Lincoln, NE when I was 15. I pursued every art form. I still play my guitar, write, & draw. What transformed me into a photographer was simply the fact you can transform a simple frame into anything you wanted. You took something from this world and made it yours. A picture is a puzzle and you can move it anyway you want but in this puzzle it can be anything you want it to come out to be.
I look for everything and ever aspect. Something common can be turned into a desired master piece, while many can't get off of something everyone has seen a million times. This is where the artist makes his stand from everyone else.
