Still Life
Most of these images I create to use as a subject to paint. For some reason I feel like I am copying a painting when I download a Wyeth painting, for example, and then proceed to paint it. I feel like I am cheating. So I incorporate two of my hobbies—photography and painting. I set up a still life, photograph it, print it, and then bring it to art class and (try to) paint it.

This photo was created for a photo competition. The topic was "Naked" I called this "Naked Banana"

The fun part about this image is I bought all the props to photograph and then proceeded to eat all the props

Another image where I consumed all the props after the photos shoot. This image is comprised of 23 images to get the right lighting effect

All of these flowers were gathered while hiking in Stroud Preserve

Once again, bought the pears, photographed them, and then ate the pears

Using a UV Light for a special effect
