...all those moments will be lost, in time, like tears in rain... Blade Runner
It has been 5 years since Flickr got me hooked, a borrowed Canon Rebel introduced me to the world of SLR, which lead to a Nikon D200, then one lens, then another...
Perhaps this is some kind of mid-life crisis? As a teen, I could not afford to take on photography as a hobby. Equipment, film, and lab costs were not within the budget of my allowance. 20+ years later, thanks to digital and solid-state technology, I can actually afford this new found passion, keep on taking bad shots so I may get a good shot.
I have not taken any photography classes to date, what I know about photography is mostly from other Flickr members and the internet. My knowledge about digital photography technology is derived from my work with a company that does product development of digital video cameras. I maintain a day job as a product manager with a popular consumer electronics company, but I have been accepting photography projects for the last year.
Soapbox:
While I do not make a living as a photographer, please do not use my work without asking for permission first. I have given the Creative Commons thing a chance, but instead I found many people using my work without asking. Some have used my work for business, while others have modified them with cheap photoshop effects, which I do not appreciate.
My photos are not to be reproduced or used in any way without my permission
