Mindless Conception is something that I came up with several years ago, but have always struggled to pinpoint what I would actually use the name and the webspace for. It has been an online portfolio, a weblog, and a general dumping ground for all sorts of random oddities that I have developed. I finally decided it would be the perfect space to share my passion for photography, which had been growing ever-so-slowly after purchasing my own camera in 2006.

Mindless Conception Photography showcases some of my favorite photos with the hope of sharing my passion with you. At the least, I hope you will enjoy looking at the pictures and might share my photography with your family and friends.

This is an old photo I had almost completely forgotten about. It is an Eastern Grey Tree Frog, and was hanging out on my parent's back deck one evening. It sat still for a long time while I snapped photos. I'm really happy with the composition and depth of field on this photo.

Found it while I was browsing around my deviantArt account.

I have been neglecting this site for a few months, unfortunately. My photography has slowed, mostly because between work and rock climbing, life has gotten in the way. My web design skills have improved significantly over the last few months due to the nature of my 9-5 job, and I've been yearning to redo this website yet again. I will probably incorporate a Wordpress blog which will allow me to make updates MUCH more easily. So hopefully by the end of summer, I will have the new site completed!
