Most call me Chris, but I go by many other names. I am a fifth year Economics major at California State University, Long Beach.

Ever since I can remember, I have always had a knack for photography. I can recall times when I would watch my father take pictures of our family outings and gatherings with his old Pentax MX (manual type) and Pentax Super Program SLR cameras. This got me motivated to pick up what he has now left off. It wasn't up until recently that I decided it was time I should invest in my own digital SLR. That's how it came to be. You can consider me a photography aficionado, as I enjoy it very much outside my busy and fast-paced life. I am self-taught and have taken no instructionals or classes. I would say that my favorite shot is the one that I'll take tomorrow. I'm always looking for that perfect shot, but never finding it. However difficult that may be, the fun is in the chase that drives me.

I use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
I use Adobe Bridge
I shoot in RAW (NEF).
I absolutely love wildlife and nature photography.
