Playing By The Sea's photostream

I purchased my first SLR in the fall of 2008 & fell in love w/it immediately. Photography has given me an outlet for my creativity & an opportunity to express myself.

I shoot what I see, what touches me, what tickles my soul & I tend to shoot often.

I am experimenting all the time and I am finding that it helps me grow as a photographer.

I love photographing nature, wildlife, architecture, people, self expression, light, colors, black & white, energy, emotion, life, etc....

I live, work & play in Santa Monica, California but I dream of traveling the world w/my dogs photographing those "things" that catch my eye & getting paid to do so :)
I know its a common dream, but it never hurts to put it out there...

I am very appreciative of the community & support I get here on Flickr and welcome constructive criticism and advice. I never went to photography school, so I could use a mentor (hint, hint)

My buddies:
Nikon D300
Canon G11
iPhone 4 32gig
Lomo LC A+

Nikkor 18-200
Nikkor 105mm 2.8 (LOVE)

thanks for stopping by...
