“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you can see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.” – Vonnegut

As a photographer or artist some may say you can find beauty everywhere or that there is an abundance of undiscovered beauty.

I met Austin, a photographer based in Portland, on a trip visiting the Pacific Northwest. We share several loves – homebrew, food, the Pacific Ocean, and laughing. Austin works in the arts and collects rolls and rolls of film documenting his experiences, people he meets, and
his inspirations.

Austin’s photography displays his raw talent and captures this sense of undiscovered beauty. I’m not only attracted to his captures because of their natural beauty but because I often find myself taking a double take and seeing something new. I hope you enjoy today’s Collection – Undiscovered Beauty
