I’ve decided it is about time to give a little something back to the community in general. I’ve found a lot of great and free tutorials, resources, tips and tricks over the years; in large part due to a lot of generous people donating their time and information over the internet.

I’m fascinated by the use of textures in photography and though I’ve tried the technique a few times, I’ve not really been happy with the results.

My point is, I figured I’d share. The previews below are just that, previews. There’s a zip file download and a rar file download. Take your pick and enjoy.

More to come in the coming weeks!

Shooting the engagement session for Jeff and Lindsey was the most fun I’ve had working with anyone all year. Not only are they simply adorable together, but they have an obvious love of life, love of each other and I can’t wait until their wedding later this year.

We went to the Rio Grande Bosque and the Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque, New Mexico to take the photographs.
