about
i am Ben. these are my humble attempts to create something from the light in the world around me. i don’t have great purpose in taking pictures, or in sharing them. mostly it is just for fun…an outlet for creativity
most of these pictures have minimal post processing, aside from cropping and resizing for the web. i think there are many of them that i could make “better” in photoshop, but I have little interest in spending more time in front of the computer. perhaps if my interest in creating images that meet my mind’s eye grows i will start doing more work on them in photoshop, but not for now.
