19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Floating with the Timeline

This image was captured when I first started photography and heavily leaned on painterly effects. people often mistook my photographs as charcoal drawings or sketches. Since I have a formal fine art background using traditional tools, I would tend to do that in my photography as a habit often. I wanted to share this with you as drawing like heavily altered picture I took in Crystal Cove beach overlooking the ocean below. The figure soaring in a higher plain which felt fitting in the image.
