I LOVE photography, have ever since mom first let me use her polaroid when I was a kid, upgraded to the 126mm, to a disk camera, then to the 110mm, then finally in '92 upgraded to my first SLR (got a second one a year later), and in 2002 finally managed to upgrade to a digital (I'm on my second one now, thinking of a third). lol

I've done several photography classes to get a few more pointers and learn to develop/print film. I tried to go pro with it doing art shows, however it's hard to compete with Wally's World selling a photocopied print in a cheap frame for $4, and crafts seem to dominate most of the shows anyways. Tons of people kept telling me how 'beautiful the pix were and I should make a lot sellinig them' however they hardly bought any and after most weekends I'd barely make back my booth fees. So I eventually gave it up and stick with it being a very rewarding but expensive hobby. lol

I've got TONS and TONS of pix around the house, of just about everything you can take pix of, although my talent seems to lie in: landscape, nature, animals, architecture, and some abstract. I've been asked many times to do people's weddings/graduations, but have turned them down as I don't feel my people shots are worth enough for something as special and one time as those events.
