BIG Slow's photostream

Thanks for stopping by my Flickr site!

I started taking pictures when I finally got a digital camera in 2001. I got it primarily for vacation pictures. I noticed that as I was taking pictures of the family and places we are visiting I would be leaning over a railing or lying down to get the picture at a different angle. It was at that time that I realized how fun photography can be!

I continued taking vacation pictures for the next few years, often looking for that different look of the places we visit. In the fall of 2007 I bought 2 broken Nikon D70 bodies on eBay. I have been a technologist my entire life so I decided to try to piece those together to make one good one. Well, it worked! I then bought a basic lens and started shooting with my "Frankenstein'd" DSLR.

I stilled used the DSLR as a "point and shoot" until I signed up for and started going to a "Fundamentals of Good Photography" class taught at the Cleveland Photography Society (www.clevelandphoto.org) in the Winter of '07 '08. I learned so much during those weeks and it gave me the desire to shoot more and more to hone the skills they taught. I highly recommend anyone that wants to improve their photos or network with other photographers to come and visit the Cleveland Photography Society.

Anyways.... to finish up this long description of my short history.
I am still learning everyday so I more than welcome any constructive criticism of any of my photos in my stream. I feel that comments as well as viewing all the amazing photos on Flickr will make me become a better photographer.

Thanks again for stopping by!
