I'm new to the world of photography, only getting my first DSLR camera in June of 2009. Since then, I have been inspired largely by Trey Ratcliff, or "Stuck In Customs" as many people know him.

I have been reading and studying the HDR techniques and processes of various individuals online and in books, but its diving in and getting my own feet wet that has taught me the most so far (I'm a hands on learner). I'm still so very new to it all, and know that I have a LONG way to go both as a photographer, and as an HDR artist (yes I do believe it to be an art form of it's own).

If you're a pro photographer, you can probably tell I have never taken any kind of photography course. Prior to getting my camera, it's been years since I tried to take photos, but have rekindled an interest, and am loving it now. Ironically, I hate being in photos. (No one ever gets me from my good angles!)

This whole Flickr thing is something of an experiment to help me get feedback, hopefully both good and constructive (please save the negative and non-constructive), in order to help me develop my abilities and improve over time.

Thanks for checking in. I hope you enjoy some of my photos.
