The Begining

Welcome.

I'm Mike Hartley, a photographer based out of Abingdon, MD. I’ve created this blog as a supplement to my website where I can more easily showcase some of my latest work. My website was my first attempt at rescuing my pictures from the black hole that is my hard drive. Even though it has worked well, there are just so many more pictures that I would like to share with the world.

Most of my images are of events, weddings, and rock climbing; a pretty exciting mix. I also enjoy taking “lifestyle” photographs which I view as photographs of people in their element enjoying life without over posing for the camera. I also try to embrace this “lifestyle” approach in all my photographs.

Since I'm not a full time photographer yet I'm gonna have to supplement this blog with ramblings from my daily life. But in either case I hope to include some awesome pics with each post.

So I hope you enjoy what you see and check back often for more.
