TWISTED APERTURE

Site UPDATE - 8/22/2023

We are still in business!!

Wings Over North Georgia 2021!

After deciding to take the 2022 and 2023 seasons off, I am getting ready for the 2024 art show season. The business is still open and you can reach out at any time if you have questions or would like to make a purchase. We will be back in the 2024 season, so look for the booth out there!

I am still looking into shifting to an Etsy or other online model and I will post further updates here as soon as I have them. In the meantime, please reach out to me directly with the email link at the bottom of any of my pages if you are interested in purchasing some of my work. Thank you for your patience and support!

Wings Over North Georgia 2021!

I have added a new page to the site for the photos that I took at the 2021 Wings Over North Georgia Airshow! The weather was not very cooperative that weekend, but it actually made for some very dramatic shots when the planes finally did fly!

About Us

Photography

I am an avid semi-pro photographer. I've been shooting since I was 17 and it has been a lifelong passion. What you see here is the culmination of my life experiences, captured on film.

Passion

I gain inspiration from the world around me. The beauty of nature, the excitement of machines, the inertia of everyday life - all of these are my subjects and I try to capture them in every way that I can.

It is my goal and my dream to have my work exhibited in public places or in the homes of my clients!

Purpose

I do what I do in an effort to capture the beauty of the world and to stir emotion in those who view my work.

All of the photos that you see here are available for purchase. Most are available in prints as large as 24" x 36". All are available as at least 8" x 10". If you like what you see, please contact me and I will quote prices.

I can create themed sets too, based on a particular subject of interest. Of course, the more of my work that is purchased, the better the pricing!

What's with the name?

Why "Twisted Aperture"?

The name comes from a play on the word aperture. Most photographers know that aperture refers to the amount of light that a lens will let through to the film/sensor of a camera. When I first started out as a very amateur photographer, I struggled to understand how aperture, shutter speed, ISO and all of the other settings worked together. As a result, I would screw up - or twist - my settings around, taking very bad photos as I went. I eventually figured it all out and what you see here are the results.

There is also another more obscure definition of aperture that refers to the inclination of two lines that meet in a point. So what happens to the two lines when they meet?
