Capturing the moment is a goal shared with all photographers; delivering the goods is what differentiates.
My previous full-time role was as a technologist. For over 30 years directing people, implementing infrastructure and moving bits were my life. Details of those years can be found on my LinkedIn profile. www.linkedin.com/patrickthickey
In parallel with a technology career, idyll.com registered as a domain in 1993 and began leveraging the use of the Internet for sharing digital photographs.
Clients seek me out to provide photo-journalistic images versus posed, studio work. It's a matter of choice, often studio photography is perfectly stunning but just as often it is too good and imparts suspicions of having been faked or altered to attain perfection. I believe images captured without embellishment other than basic color and light balance impart a lasting impression, a peek into a slice of time. Translation: natural poses age well.
