- About Me:
- Not my day job, but photography is a passion for me mixing my previous experience as a Broadcast Journalist along with my current career in IT. My perfect world would find me living the lives of the likes of Steve Johnson, Ben Long and Bill Durrance.
My knowledge in photography is expanding as is my desire to provide a glimps of the world through my lens. My best shots have sparked emotions in others which is what I do this for.

I'd Like To Thank.......
Seriously, I woke this morning to the following mail after having completely given up on the process:
"Congratulations, the iStockphoto administrators

The Mission, should I choose to accept it.
I should stop right there and slap myself silly because one of my claims to fame as a Broadcast Journalist in the Marines was my attention to detail on lighting for video (studio and field). Why I ever thought that wouldn't apply to still photog… Continue

Le Grande Purge
As a result of this I headed to my on-line home for my snaps, flickr. What I saw made me cringe. Whatever was I thinking?!?! I was staring at a profile with some 850 pictures with no real measure in place to ensure what goes out was worthy of being seen. I had to organize… Continue

D200
This past week I purchased a D200 (Awaiting its arrival). It is not to replace my D100, but to supplement it. What do I mean? Well, while on a formerly known, "Geek Cruise" for digital photography I had the opportunity to sit with Bill Durrance and Ben Long.

To answer one of your questions: I'm not in Tokyo now. In my previous job I had the opportunity to travel to China, Korea, Japan and other points in Asia as well as Europe and South America. I usually took a camera with me, but usually it was a usually a small pocket sized digital since I usually didn't feel like lugging my SLR and lenses with me on a two week trip. (Also I was concerned about having it stolen.)
I've always loved photography. My father was an advanced amateur back in the dark room days. I spent many an evening with with him mixing chemicals and developing film and prints, including color slides (Anscochrome). I now have a bit more time to devote to personal interests and I’d like to get back into the hobby in a more structured way. I’m ramping up my skills by reading (best book so far: Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson) but I’m also trying to get out and shoot more pictures. I fell like you can learn something from every picture you take, even the bad ones.
