Hi,

Though I have been taking pictures for many years, I still consider myself a beginner in the art of photography.

Within my photo stream you will find mostly snapshots of my daily experiences. My photos are raw, in so much as, they are not altered beyond some cropping and slight changes to the lighting, contrast and saturation. For the most part you will see what I saw, the way I saw it.

I shoot mostly nature and scenes and I am fascinated with available light. Though I have owned them for years, only recently I have begun to use my tripod and mono-pod. For one, I'm getting older, not quite as steady as I once was, and two who doesn't want a perfectly clear shot.

I thank God for giving me eyes to see the beauty of His creation; for giving me the talent to capture that beauty the way I see it.

Equipment:
--Canon 400D (Rebel XTi)
--Canon BG-E3 Vertical Grip/Battery Holder -- One of the best purchases I have made for the camera.
--Tamron AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II LD SP ZL Aspherical (IF) Zoom Lens
--Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Ultra Zoom Lens
--Sunpak tripod
--Slick monopod
--Hoya polarizer and UV filters
--Canon 430EX Speed Light
