MagikTrik's photostream

Ummm........well........I'm really honest so if you wanna know anything about me just ask, or read some of my journals at DeviantART magiktrik.deviantart.com

I didn't think I would actually have to "point this out" but apparently I do. All images in my photostream are copyright Brad W Gremba (that's me). If you have a "personal" reason to need one of my pictures such as a drawing/painting reference just let me know & I'll get you a high res version but short of that, please leave my pictures where you see them. No newspaper or editor is going to take me seriously if my images are strewn out all over the web being used by other folks & although I don't necessarily disagree from a "business" standpoint with photogrphers that watermark their images, I personally refuse to do so because it's ugly & distracting.
Cool? So we're good, right? Right. Now let's get on with it then.

Basically I am a Pittsburgh based amateur photographer born & bred in the Steel City & proud of that fact. I am a Region 6 NPPA member (currently looking for a mentor). I've been in love with Photography since I was 7 or 8 & I saw my first set of prints from pictures I made with my Dad's Pentax ME (which I still occasionally use) but I decided just 6 years ago that I was going to put 100% of my resources, energy & passion into this & try to make a living out of it. I try to learn something new everyday because I was born with that eternal thirst for knowledge (which is actually more of a curse than a good thing).

I'm in the process of putting my own website together to both advertise & sell my work & services, I am also starting my own blog which should cover just about every aspect of photography with a good bit of personal opinion on everything from industry trends to equipment, you'll be able to find that at bgremba.blogspot.com. Also, for the record, my website is www.magikximaging.com & it should be done very soon. For now though my Zenfolio portfolio is always up to dat & that is at: magikximaging.zenfolio.com
