This is Me ///
I thought about writing this quick bio piece in the third person but,
really, I’m just not that pretentious.
My name is William
Patrick Butler (as I'm sure you can tell from the
website name) and I love being
able to see a moment, that's mine and no other's, and show it to
everyone else.
Fancy way of saying I'm a freelance photographer and I like taking
pretty pictures. ;)
Most of my published work has appeared in the Jackson Free Press.
If you see any photo you'd like to purchase as a print (on this site or
deviantart
or flickr)
and it's
not already in the store,
please send me an email: williampatrickbutler@yahoo.com
and I’ll be
happy to included it in the store.
Enjoy the moments (or the pretty pictures, depends on how artsy fartsy
you wanna get)
(and just in case you were wondering, I hang my hat in Jackson, MS.)
