I began getting seriously interested in photography in 2005 while taking pictures for an online community website project. I read articles and discussions at photo.net voraciously, bought SLR camera equipment like the wind, and made a point of taking a batch of photos every week or two. After a couple of years, I became bored with photographing what was around my home, and now mostly only take pictures when traveling.
You can see many examples of my photos at:
Long-time fans of my photographic art might notice pictures missing from my Flickr photo sets. I've so far put most of my previously-published photos onto Flickr, but if you notice anything absent that you miss, please let me know and I'll try to get it reposted.
Unless noted otherwise, my photos on Flickr are available to the public under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 license. If you want to do something with my photographs that this license does not allow, please send me an email to discuss.
SLR camera manufacturers offer dozens of lenses to choose from, ranging from extreme
wide-angle to extreme telephoto. I found that I am usually most happy with a
standard 50mm/1.4 lens. You might give such a lens a try too.
