One of my favorite things to do is walk around and take photos of unusual textures or other features that catch my eye. As a supplement to my graphic design and commercial art education, I studied photography and received certification in proficiency with 35mm manual cameras, 4×5″ large format studio cameras, film developing, and darkroom procedures. Photography is a great design tool to capture textures, patterns, and to get reference material for painting and design projects.
