My longtime friend Fritz Liedtke has been blogging in recent months, offering images and slideshows from his rather impressive adventures as a photographer.

He photographs a lot of weddings and portraits, and yet these spirited images show that it’s not just work for him. He finds a lot of beauty in candid moments along the way. (You can look up his main Web page here.)

And then, outside of his wedding work, he does some brave exploratory photography. In recent years, he has ventured into the volatile realm of adolescents, capturing faces and bodies in a phase of unpredictable change.

Spend some time on his blog, and then venture out from there to his Web site’s art gallery. Beauty, mystery, and imagination. It’s great to see Fritz pursuing his dreams and finding so much treasure along the way.
