So, here I am...

Shooting... I was as curious as a cat when I first grabbed my dad's Nikon FE. He taught me how to focus and hit the shutter release. Photography remained at the back of my mind and has since become a true hobby of mine over the last five years.

I bought my first digicam, a Canon S400, that's now sitting limp with the 99 error (still need to ship it into Canon for free servicing). I outgrew the XTi after three months, a 30D for a little over two years, and now I'm in heaven with the 5D2. But we tend to easily forget that it's not all about the gear but the eye/mind/imagination of the one behind the lens.

I don't know if you can call me a photographer but I enjoy taking pictures and do so, not for financial reasons (although it's extremely draining on the bank accounts), but for fun / relaxation, I guess that's how a lot of people began their lives with photography.

As I approach different situations, I struggle / adjust / shoot / and review to take my learnings and apply them towards future shoots.

No formal education, plenty of wonderful professional photographer friends, real-life field learning.

Welcome to my blog; any and all constructive criticism is very much appreciated! You don't have to be a photog to have an opinion about what I capture/d with my camera.
