I have always had a huge interest in Photography but recently decided to try to take it to the next level - and – I’m hooked! I was actually hooked in high-school photography, but didn't have the resources at the time to take it to the next level.

Since then I have owned several digital cameras but recently bought my first DSLR and I have no regrets (I'm using a Canon 30D now)! My best advice to new photographers, like me, subscribe to photography magazines such as Popular Photography, forums, Flickr groups, and read your camera’s user manual cover to cover!

I love taking photos of my family, my kids, and friends and I enjoy learning how to take good, quality photos. It's a huge learning curve, rather, a working/learning passion, and if you have it, most of this should come easy... Then there’s the cool software, iPhoto, Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 2, Aperture, etc., it’s all great ways to make the most out of your photos.

My interest in Flickr...well, it's cool, for one, and it's a great way to backup your photos! I don't delete very many photos, which is why, as of now, I have a little over 10,000.

I like Macs, ok, love Macs. Apple computers are awesome! I used to be a diehard Windows guy, until August when I switched - and I've never looked back!

I'm married, to Tosha (love her), and I have 3 children (love them too).

I also like to cook.

...and then there's Twitter.
