Bjohansk's photostream

I'm a 45 Year old amateur photographer. I began taking pictures, developing and printing in my father’s dark room in 5th grade. I spent the first 26 years of my life De Pere Wisconsin. After 26 years in De Pere I moved to Chicago, IL to get the Big City fix I felt I needed at the time. While there I met my future wife, Martha. We've been married 14 years this October. We had two children and decided her hometown of St. Joseph, MI was a much better place to raise our family than the Chicago area. This is where I currently reside. Connor is currently 12, and Ben the one with the orange hair is 10.

With the birthday gift of my 20D, I've re-discovered how great photography is when you don't have to toil with the processing and can shoot with reckless abandon due to digital processing. I recently added a Cannon 28-300L - IS series lens which has been a blast. It's great for the many youth sports our kids participate in. However, the size of this lens has some drawbacks. This spring I got kicked out of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris during the Olympic torch run as I was identified as a professional without a press pass.

I welcome comments and constructive critism on my photos.
