M Takaichi's photostream

Note: I have migrated to a new flickr site. It can be reached here: www.flickr.com/photos/mtakaichi/.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my pictures! I'm exploring a lot of different ideas and color schemes, so I'm always curious to see how people react to these. I shoot all over Northern/Central California and I am currently working on a portfolio for the Eddie Adams Workshop. The only editing I use is simple color adjustments and filters in lightroom. I constantly struggle with how much post-processing to include in each shot. I try to strike a balance that looks natural, though I often feel it may look overdone. Let me know your thoughts on this.

I also host a radio show at KDVS 90.3 FM called "The Tolerance Hours," it is linked below if you are interested. Feel free to contact me with any comments or questions about my pictures. However, I would ask that you please ask for my permission before using my photos. You'll find I'm very liberal about lending them if they are used in the right spirit. I can also send higher resolution files if needed. I would also really appreciate it if you refrain from posting banners/sparkly gifs in the comments of my photos! If you keep your comments substantial, I'll return the favor.
