Hi, my name is Wes Auten and i'm 24 years young.  To sum me up, i'm an over thinker and an under achiever.  Soon to be finishing a Degree in Business Marketing, life has led me with many doors to choose from and no sense of direction. 

Imagine viewing a piece of Ansel Adams at an art gallery and the sense of "wow" as you stare into the complimentary shadows of the vision of a mastermind on film.  Jump 25 years in time and find the irony as the passing year of Mr. Adams became of the birth year of another visionary.  And to take it to an even deeper level, Ansel being born in the same city (San Francisco) that this visionary finds to be his inspiration. 

Photography has been sort of something I viewed as my escape from reality.  I find myself walking around viewing the world in a 35mm sort of view.  Dreaming seems to be my hope.  My hope to one day become the Ansel Adams of the digital age. 

Many people can photograph the same image, and with technology create their own point of view.  I view my work as something simple, yet different.  I see my images not created by a machine, but created by a vision.  Imagine if you were able to take those mental imprints that the brain creates and display that on a piece of paper.  My work is nothing more than that mental imprint I see in my mind.

I hope all of you take a chance to explore my vision and enjoy!
