Not just portraits...

Don't get me wrong, I love doing portraits with people and there's nothing like when a person enjoys their shoot and enjoys their portraits even more.

But I could never be set in one area of photography.  I love trying new things, experimenting, and learning new tricks.  At my core, I love doing all kinds of photography with the only exception being candid street photography.  I haven't given that much of a try but for me there's taking someone's photo...and then there's TAKING someone's photo.  Not that I mind it for others, it just hasn't hit me yet as a genre I like to do.

But leading the way in terms of other photographs than portraits, is landscapes and wildlife.  Yes, this Eagle Scout (yes, card carrying Eagle Scout) truly loves getting out in nature and capturing the beauty that God put before us on his own.  A good sunrise satisfies the soul with piece and quiet.  My trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks was truly a great, though short, moment in my life.  Getting to capture the waterfalls of the Columbia River Gorge on the west coast with Jill Morris was awesome.  Then heading down the coast to Cannon Beach, shooting on the the eastern shore...all are thrills for me.

So make sure to check out a lot more of my landscape photography on my flickr site:

Enjoy!

PTaylorImages.com is now HERE!

At LONG LAST, www.ptaylorimages.com is now official.  Tell a friend, tell a foe, tell someone that you don't know.  I'm relieved that it is finally on the net for the world to see

After more than a year of complete indecision on what I wanted the site to look like, and torturing a developer for months on end about what I did and didn't want, and knowing zilch about web-development and hosting (sorry Matt), I finally just bit the bullet and got down to grinding through it.

I hope you like the site and would love to hear everyone's thoughts (well, not everyone, but most people).  I welcome suggestions!  I'll still be tweaking the site a bit more so check back often to see what might look different.  Maybe your portrait will be featured. 

Can't think of much else to say other than "It's been a long week so far and its only TUESDAY so please make my week and go check out the site!"

Getting Started!

I'm new to the blogosphere and I only hope that I'll be able to keep up and communicate what's new in the world of PTaylorImages. Photography is my love and passion. It took me 26 years to find it but now that I have, I'm not letting go.

I think I'll use this blog as a place to share where I'm going, and maybe a little bit about where I've been with photography in the past years, share what's new, communicate with other photographers I know (and hopefully network), and of course, post some work! I won't let go of my flickr site at all though.

One big announcement will be coming very VERY soon. Keep your eyes open!

Thanks,

Pete
