The Roots in Stone

from $50.00

This photo encompasses the range of my style. I love minimalistic, and almost the to edge of where I will push my photo until it is no longer minimalistic. There are three clear “objects” in this scene. You’ve got the tree, the rocks, and the sky. They are all separate, distinct, and consistent colors. There shapes, edges, and curves aren’t all over the place with sharp unexpected edges or nubs. To round it all off, the tree in the center is wonderfully framed by the rocks and the sky; they help give is so much depth and a feathery-free feel. I greatly appreciate the, almost, poetic art behind this photo.

When I got this photo, I was out shooting a video trying to get the grey sky and the rocks into the majority of my photos. I got a bunch of fun photos with some long exposure shots and then I also got this one.

I named this photo The Roots in Stone as a result of the Lord showing me how many of the beliefs we have as Christian’s appears as folly and irrational trains of thought when compared to the beliefs of this world. A God dying. A man being raised from the dead. A spirit that isn't ours living with us. Praying for our weakness so the strength of another (God) can be glorified. The name of this photo is meant to bring opposition to the “correct” ways of thinking about a tree and its roots. Usually roots in stone would mean guarantied destruction for the tree, but in the case of our religion things are a bit different. Roots set on the Lord, our foundation and cornerstone, is a good thing. If our lives and our beliefs are put on something that will never move or change or stop loving us, how good is that?

I want to point out that there is a famous parable about a farmer sowing his seeds, and how there are some seeds falling in roots or on gravel, which results in them failing to grow properly. What I’ve said above has nothing to do with that. I am not trying to connect it in any way.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed that and the photo! Cya!

My Thoughts On My Stuff

I love looking at colors and I love watching dull colors come to life on my laptop! It always makes me cheerful. I hope the same can be said about you for your art and my art! Regardless, I like my stuff and I use/look at my stuff all the time.

If you are looking for a reason besides “I want to see art” then how about this: I’m in college, but I want to have the flexibility to support others around me, whether that be with a conversation over a cup of coffee or the soda and chips at a friendly get together. That’s where my money will go. In the future, I hope to use that same money to support me being a counselor for foreigners in different countries.

Things That Peeps Really Like

Wisconsin Point Lighthouse
from $50.00

This is one of my favorite photos! Every time I look at it I feel like it could be used in a Nat-Geo magazine. The colors are bold, the framing is spacious but still interesting, and the subject is very clear. There’s even a natural vignette near the bottom of the photo that would help emphasize any words you put on the photo!

A little bit about this photo, the lighthouse is call the “Wisconsin Point Lighthouse”, which is in… well, Wisconsin. I traveled there one early morning to get a few photos of it, and wouldn’t you know it, I didn’t meant to take this photo! What I mean by that is I went there with the intention of shooting it head on from the breaker, but as I shifted around and started to take other photos, I realized I had everything mixed up… I think this photo is a great testimony towards the power of exploration when it comes to shooting a single subject. It’s never enough for you to take one photo and be done with it. You miss out on learning and you might even miss out on a great shot. Taking it even further, I think the same applies to life. When you hear about God, and the way He has saved us or NOT, it’s good to do some exploring. The offer He gives us is too great to not consider thoroughly, is it not? You should study for proof of his offer not only from many Atheists’ points of view, but also from many Christian’s points of view. You might find that one option is clearly better.

I ‍ hope you enjoy the photo and my little… message?

Literally All Presets
$27.00

Photography is fun and so is editing your photos. Sometimes though, you just get busy with life and you’re like “I wish I had more time to edit my photos!”

That’s why I’ve spent hours and hours and hours creating my own presets. They help me get the results I want when editing.

I have two types of presets for you.

Type 1, Productivity Boosters (PB), is used to quickly edit your photos with an simple, useful, and beautiful style. So, think golden hour or exposure plus vibrancy.

Type 2 is… exploratory presets? I call them Creativity Extensions (CE). I personally will use them when I want to explore what’s possible with my photo or I want to learn something. I’ve honestly learned a crazy amount but applying these different styles and variations to my photos.

If and when you get this pack, make sure you check out my application video below. It’s super helpful and free.

I hope that you can find these presets useful! Let me know what you think by submitting a review to me.
