Festival of Spring
15 years ago
I attempt to capture the beauty that I see every day in the world. It is my goal to so perfectly capture nature that the transcendence found therein can be found in my photographs, as well. This is not possible, I know, but it is my ultimate goal, and my artistic motivation. I hope you enjoy my attempts at this.


Yeah, that's right. Steve. I saw this turtle on a rock in The Lake in Central Park during an afternoon boatride with friends. He was the best looking out of the 19 or 20 turtles on the rock, and I could just see the hint of a smile on his face as he looked back at me. I figured, why waste a smile? I'm glad I didn't because I love this picture. Gaussian blur gradient added on PS.
This took me quite a long time to render on PS. It still isn't quite right, unfortunately, but I like how it looks, generally. This was taken in Greenwich Village in New York City, right near the old Public Library. There were all kinds of awesome buildings in that area, but this little courtyard just hit me. I love it. Hopefully I'll figure out how to render it exactly how I want it....
