This book is a collection of representative photography images I have put together as a portfolio. The book title: Evanescent: A Portfolio of Photographs, represents those images that are fleeting or disappearing, never remaining the same. The images selected in this book are some of those things that are here today and gone tomorrow. I have also included a listing of technical information on cameras, lens and filters, etc. And, just for fun, composed a short poem about my photography. Hopefully, after viewing my photography, this will encourage a new way of looking at composition, giving inspiration to your own style of photography. Thank you for spending your personal time reflecting upon my images taken through my cameras and lens.
