Take a picture in celebration of World Photography Day

Happy World Photography Day! World Photography Day is a lesser known (but growing) holiday where photographers worldwide celebrate their craft. The date of August 19th is significant to the world of photography because on August 19, 1939, a few months after Louis Daguerre published the announcement of his invention, the daguerreotype, the French government announced this invention as a “gift to the free world.”

Photography pro’s, enthusiasts, geeks, hobbyists, or even none of the above, take a picture today in commemoration of photography and its place in the world today. As a little dedication to photography, below you’ll find a gallery of my most recent personal project: a few pics taken in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

About Me

About me

After a photojournalism degree and a short stint as a lead photographer/photo editor at a news web site, I decided it was time to branch out on my own. I specialize in editorial food and travel photography but dabble in a little bit of everything.
