You don’t take a photograph, you make it.
— Ansel Adams

Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, just take another shot. - Unknown

Who Is Kelly?

Who am I? We really don't have that kind of time. Like most i’m many things. I’m a dad, a technologist, photography enthusiast and too many other things to quickly scribe. As far as is concerned here, I'm just a guy who has a website that loves photograhy. 

Is there more to me than meets the eye? Well,I am a transformer, just not a robot. To learn more you would need to meet me and maybe buy me a beer; a good beer not some cheap domestic. A man must have standards. I could recommend a good wine, but we might need something stronger should we venture into politics. It’s been said I never met a debate I didn’t like, but people have a tend to exaggerate; or do they?

Currently my stable of photographic equipment includes a Canon 80D, a Sony RX100 Mark VI, an Osmo Pocket, an iPhone, an iPad Pro and a MacBook Pro. As you review my portfolio you will find I have a definite preference for black & white photography. I've been taking photos almost my entire life, starting as a child with a various assortment of "instamatic" cameras my family owned as well as occasionally getting to take photos with my grandfather's 35mm SLR.

As a teenager I got my first SLR and eventually became one of the school photographers. I would eventually transition from film to digital in the early 2000's obtaining my very first Digital SLR, a Canon Rebel Xti, in 2006. Not long ago I upgraded from that aging camera to a Canon 80D. My goto editing app is LightRoom CC, primarily on my iPad Pro. I should almost exclusively in RAW, which also means I have to do post processing on every photo I take. I’m nothing but a glutton for punishment. I'm by no means a professional, just a very long time enthusiast that just loves the art of photography and photo editing.
