A’s fan: “Hello there, Mr. Clemente. Nice to meet you.” Roberto Clemente: “Here, let me remove that elephant from your head. This is Pittsburgh, Son.”

Pittsburgh ~ The City of Bridges

San Francisco’s Golden Gate is one of my all-time favorite architectural designs; however, there is no shortage of beautiful bridges in Pittsburgh, PA. The portion of skyline in the background enhances the Roberto Clemente Bridge in this image.

“It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like. It’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are.” ~ Paul Caponigro

Welcome! A little about me:

 

Hello and thank you for taking a moment to check out my blog. My name is DeLaynne Taylor. My passion for photography began as a small child, with old family photos in my Aunt Elinor’s cedar chest. I would excitedly beg to “read” her pictures.  Guess I realized, even at that young age, that every good photograph tells a story.  Eventually, I started taking my own photos, primarily using an Olympus SLR film camera.  I enrolled in a photography class in high school, where I learned to develop and print in the darkroom.  Although I miss those film/darkroom days, I now only shoot using a DSLR camera.

Capturing my subjects in their most natural state is important to me. I want their true essence to shine through.  I prefer candid shots over posed portraits. I’m intrigued by faces, especially eyes, and love shooting close ups that reveal genuine expression.  Although I enjoy different styles of portraiture, I prefer lifestyle. I’ve recently discovered that I absolutely LOVE street and journalistic style photography.

I consider myself a hobbyist and shoot purely for pleasure. I’ve toyed with the idea of eventually trying to make photography a full time career; however, after a prolonged absence from shooting, I’ve discovered that’s no longer my ultimate goal. I just want to keep developing my craft and photographing subjects that captivate me.  Anyway, since my other passion is writing, a blog seemed like the perfect forum for sharing my work.  Thank you for joining me on my adventures as I focus on life.
