Roberto Westbrook: New Photographs and Thoughts

I woke up this morning to a thick fog. I don’t often take my camera with me while walking our beagle, but today I decided it was a good idea. We walked about half a mile up Colley Ave to a bridge that crosses over a finger of the Lafayette River and there I found a few good photo opportunities. I tied Moe up to a tree and took a few photos. I tried both a blue and sepia tone for this image, and decided on the sepia you see here.

I was a featured contributor in the Fall/Winter 2009 issue of Distinction Magazine. It’s a relatively new, high-end magazine in Hampton Roads. It’s a beautifully bound, glossy that will be inserted in newspapers quarterly. It seems to be very targeted, which I think is the only way for a magazine to be successful.
