My name is Doug Hesseltine. I enjoy learning new things and trying new photography techniques. I have always had in interest in photography dating all the way back to high school and over the years I have slowly worked on learning new things, advancing my equipment and styles. I have done a number of projects including, friends, family, live music events and more. I am always looking for the next project to work on when I have spare time.
I will be posting some of my projects on this site as a way to share what I have seen and done as well as a way for myself to see how my techniques and skills evolve. In addition to projects that I work on I will be constantly adding past photographs that I have taken over the years and never done much with. I hope you find something interesting here. If you do please let me know. I could always use a little ego boost to help me through my next project.
Be sure to take a look at the different areas of my site especially the Historical page. If you grew up in Des Moines, just moved here, or are just curious about the past you will be sure to find something interesting here.
