This is a sample platter of the things I worked on or created during high school. It's not really fantasy at all, but this place is dead so I thought I'd expand it to just "art". I've never stuck too devoutly to one trade, so you're getting two photos and a drawing to start, potentially some poetry and prose later, if I feel so inclined.

arrow Bush at a campaign rally at my school two years ago. I was one of three students to get an official White House press pass and join CNN and ABC on the big stage. I know he's just a tad blurred, but I was taking photos of the crowd up close to me with a 200mm lense and wasn't really prepared to suddenly change focus and shoot across a football field.

Still, I'm the only one who got the shot. I won an award for that'n, and lettered in Journalism.

arrow Struck Out, which I ended up quitting the newspaper over. They said it wasn't an action shot. I said it's the best shot I've ever taken. I worked at a photography studio after I left the newspaper and they appreciated this type of work more. It never saw print though. No editing done.

arrow Anatomy of a Line - If I had this to do-over, I wouldn't have used lined paper of course, and I'd have used a real scanner. But it was supposed to just be a doodle in class, not a two hour project (pencil then tracing it in pen). And I didn't have a scanner available. I love this piece, but the original was lost in a fire and all I have is a bad photo of it.

I'm something of a writer as well... much of my work was lost in the same fire that took the previous drawing, but some things survived. Depending on the responses to this stuff I might pull some of that out. It's a bit more personal and harder to share... but intelligent feedback - positive and negative - has a way of persuading me.

^^ thats really good. I especially like the second picture, photography is hard, especially on a subject that moves.

The line art is pretty cool too, I've always found it intriguing to trace lines like that.

Your "Anatomy of a Line" is very awesome. Great job. And the photos are beautiful. You have a a good eye with a camera lens.

I really like doing fantasy photography and drawing fantasy anime.

Even though our styles are different you seem to have a unique eye for capturing the line of motion in a moment. I really like all your pictures even though they, once again, aren't my style.

Keep it up!

Here's a photograph that's one of my favorites I've ever done....
