Kenneth enjoys the more technical side of the photographic process, spending a great deal of time in the realms of infrared, night, and time-lapse areas of photography. Having shot of both formats he has a love of both the digital process along with the smells and grain of the analog process. He enjoys not only the technical aspect of the creative process, but most assuredly the creative process as well, he hopes to create images that are inspiring, compelling, and at times laced with meaning.
