A little about my photography.

I love photography more than any other medium, yet find it the most challenging. My challenge is to keep up with the endless change of technical aspects like camera settings, equipment, lens, aperture, lighting, how to archive images properly...while finding subject matter that actually interests me. I strive to take quality photographs that can be exhibited at gallery level. What have I learned over the last few years? There is a lot to learn about photography. I am humbly learning more every day. My photographs are a quick glimpse into the world that surrounds me.

Two years ago I traveled all the way to my father's hometown, a remote Mexican village in Jojutla, Morelos Mexico...I took hundreds of photographs and maybe came back with 2 or 3 that I really liked or thought good enough to exhibit. I keep the photos small scale or thumbprint on my website and keep 24x36 prints on-hand. They are gorgeous and have impeccable details.

Please contact me for exhibits, donations, auctions and any other good cause you'd like to utilize my photography for. Also, when I do presentions in the classroom for kids, I always bring a nice collection of my photographs and explain each one in detail.

"CHICAGO being one of the most polluted cities, there are still pockets of nature to be found. Mostly man-made green fields near the lakefront that are ironically minutes away from where the city is surrounded by many waste incinerators, industrial coal plants (Pilsen) emitting (cancerous) toxins, landfills, dumpsites, brown fields (contaminated land), improperly regulated recycling centers and an abundance of uncontrollable carbon dioxide and hightened ozone from nearby traffic and highways." -Dana Perea Bloede
