My Pics From Different Angels...um, I mean, Angles!

I've always always believed in having some fun with what you do for a living.  Being a photographer, many people don't see it as work. They see pics of interesting people doing interesting things. What people don't see are the not so glitzy things that pay the bills such as how to videos, corporate head shots, crying children. In order to keep a passion from becoming a job, you gotta have fun with it.

Sometimes I do that by hanging out at the park or experimenting with lighting.  Last week I spent some time at Bartlett United Methodist Church (Where I attend) and took some pictures of the church from angles MOST people will NEVER see.

I hope you enjoy the tour!
