About

I'm not entirely sure what this site is going to become. I suppose that's part of the fun.

I like to travel. I like photography. And when I see something interesting, I generally take a picture of it.

There's really not much more to the process than that. Well, most of the time.

I'm generally a snap-and-go kind of photographer. I see something I like, take a picture, and move along. Sometimes I'll look for a better angle, and occasionally I'll go somewhere specifically because I want to catch the light at a particular time. But I'm not usually the guy who spends an hour composing a single photograph.

What really catches my attention, though, isn't always the obvious stuff.

I love empty streets, particularly in places that are normally crowded. Lights cutting through darkness. Buildings and public spaces after everyone has gone home. There's something fascinating about seeing a place when it's not being used the way we're accustomed to seeing it.

I'm also drawn to the people who are still working when everyone else has called it a day. The person cleaning an otherwise empty building, someone maintaining a street in the middle of the night, or a lone worker quietly doing a job that thousands of people will benefit from without ever knowing who did it.

I find those moments interesting. Maybe it's the contrast between the ordinary and the unusual. Maybe it's just that I like seeing a different side of things.

Of course, I also enjoy a good mountain, an interesting building, or a landscape that makes me stop and say, "Well, damn."

I'm not a professional photographer, and I'm certainly not pretending to be one. It's a hobby I enjoy, and occasionally I get a little carried away with the equipment and the technical side of things. Sometimes I come home with a photograph I'm genuinely pleased with. Other times I look at what I shot and wonder what the hell I was thinking.

Both happen with some regularity.

This isn't meant to be a travel guide or a photography tutorial. There won't necessarily be a profound story behind every picture, and I don't intend to manufacture one.

It's just a collection of things that caught my eye, whether I found them halfway around the world or five minutes from home.

I went somewhere. I saw something. I took a picture.

Today I Saw.

That's pretty much it.
