Tim Wheaton Photography |  Southern California Natural Light Photographer bio picture

they call me... tim

i know i should use capital letters, but i am not a fan of what it does to the letter
"I", in most cases. if i had to decide between a tree that grew time
and a tree that grew money, i would honestly have to sit and think about which
to pick the fruit from. i do not eat fruit. nope. ask me again and i'll tell
you the same. i don't eat fruit and i don't eat seafood. i like to think i am
not "picky" because i knock out whole food groups at a time. i've
been told i have a dry sense of humor. i've also been told i look like howie
mandel. i'm not sure if that is a compliment. i am uber-blessed to have a wife
who "deals with me"... though she may run into eye trouble one day
for how much she rolls her eyes at my antics.

i love to take photos. i love what they capture of my life and your lives. and then i
love to take those moments and "paint" on them... to reflect some of
the emotion that is already there in a unique way.

add this page to your bookmarks. i will continue to show sneak previews of what i am working
on as well as session summaries. you will also find random promotions and
discounts, as well as sporadic views into my and my family's life.

DMB Caravan Festival | Atlantic City, NJ | Day Two

the second day in atlantic city for the caravan fest. i was relieved that all of the weather apps on my iPad and my iPhone had been wrong thus far: none of those big gray clouds with yellow lightning bolts and little white spots coming down from them had come around. shooting something like this...

CUSD Strike 04.23.10

this was kind of a unique experience for me. though i see myself as one with strong beliefs, i have never been involved in a strike or anything of that nature. never picketed. never ‘walked a line’. never burned any undergarments to “stick it to the man”. one of my local school districts is entrenched...
