I am not a photographer by trade. But as a graphic designer it's often necessary to keep up on photography skills for various projects and mock-ups. This is a collection of photographs that didn't end up in any sort of product, but are products in and of themselves.

This is my wonderful wife being frustrated at me for taking her picture. I just happened to be at my desk editing photos in the middle of the night and saw that the light was hitting her in a beautiful way, so I had to take the shot. Her annoyance only added to a great photo opportunity.
Our firstborn. I was trying to capture the wonder of her new experiences.
The joy of being a new Father.

My favorite board game Root. This is actually a very unlikely scenario to happen in the game, but it makes for a dramatic photo.
A symbol of how severe depression feels. A constant contemplation of choice, whether to live or not to live.
