I can honestly say that Cole Rise’s photography stopped me in my tracks a few days ago. I dropped what I was doing and spent a good 20 minutes looking through his site. He really has a unique eye for detail. I found myself staring at beautiful landscapes and being amazed at how much visual interest a small silhouette of a cow or a bird flying in the distance could add to the composition. His work with people as a subject matter is also equally interesting.

Check out his website at colerise.com or his Flickr stream.

This is something I have been wanting to do for several years and I have always drug my feet and come up with a thousand other things to do instead of sitting down and hammering out a portfolio and blog. With a little encouragement from family and friends and a New Year’s resolution now accomplished I enter the world of blogging! Hang on because I have no clue what to do next.
