Useless Originals Welcome to my personal page. By profession, I build Software, but photography has long been my serious hobby and creative outlet. Welcome to my personal blog.

This page is simply a space to share my journey as an amateur visual artist – no professional work, just passion. This page is simply a space to share my journey as an amateur visual artist - no professional work, just passion. My exploration of the visual arts began with painting, and in 2005 I transitioned to photography when I first picked up a Canon PowerShot S410 Digital ELPH. Before diving i

n, I spent many hours studying photography in my leisure time, and it continues to be a source of joy and discovery. I love capturing anything that catches my eye - landscapes, portraits, still life, or everyday moments. My favorite themes are candles and flames, portraits, and close‑ups. As for my skills, I see myself as a child at the seashore, collecting beautiful pebbles along the way. Every photo is part of that playful search. I welcome your critiques, suggestions, and tips - they are what help me grow and improve.

Mark of Triumph by Stanley Wanlass | Long Beach, WA | May, 2021

The statue shows two exhausted explorers in worn buckskins standing on a cliff, embodying triumph and relief as they reach the Pacific on November 19, 1805. Located in Long Beach, Washington, it commemorates the moment William Clark carved into a tree: “William Clark. Nov. 19, 1805. By land from the U. States." - https://www.historylink.org/File/9814
