On this profile I'll post completely unedited stock photos taken from around my local area.

You may use any of the pictures from my gallery on this profile as long as you notice me and give me proper credit.

The main reason why I'm doing this is basically to learn to take better pictures on site, as I don't like post-editing and will avoid it at all costs. The pictures however will not focus on the artistic aspect, but will rather be journalistic and documentary.

I am not judging those who do like to edit their pictures, but I feel that too much editing removes the pleasure in the hunt for the perfect picture. With the tools available today, anyone skilled or patient enough can make bad pictures look amazing with the right programs. I think that is photo manipulation and a totally different form of art and not the one I want to do.

The second reason is to provide reference photos for anyone who'd need them for whatever reason.

Please visit my main profile, ~quanitz, where I post my original artistic photographs.
