LomiMonk [Brian]'s photostream  

Alright, I'm not one for writing much about myself on public sites, but I've been bitten by the photography bug and so I thought I might just put something up.

I started on Flickr with the hopes of sharing pictures with my family more easily than emailing. Then, as I explored, I started to fall in love with all the images. My wife, encouraging me, bought me a Nikon D40 that I've been loving and slowy learning. Just recently I purchased a Nikon D300 to celebrate my graduation from Grad. School, my birthday, and the birth of our son. I'm just loving it and hope it improves my ability to capture what I see in the way that I see it.

I love taking candid pictures of people in places and celebrating what's right in the world.

Any suggestions on how to improve my photography and post-processing skills is welcomed, provided it's polite and well intended of course.

I generally will add someone as a contact if they have added me, and as of now I check to see who's commenting on my pictures. However, if you've got porn or you obviously objectify the human body, I'll block you; simple as that. Artistic nudes are fine, other stuff is not. You know who you are.

Otherwise, enjoy the pictures. I'd love to hear from you; comments, support, friendly hello's.

Thanks for checkin' in.

If you would like to buy one of my prints please contact me via Flickr mail or visit my photography website at www.lomimonk.com
