I come from a family of photographers, but I'm definitely an amateur! I recently upgraded my Digital Rebel (300D) to a Canon 40D. I'm loving the new camera and capabilities. I'm constantly learning, and taking the next step after a few intro classes @ Showcase and of course gaining insight from the talented photographers here on flickr.

Testimonials (5)

Tress Ritter says:

"You know how when you are walking through the city by yourself and you are listening to you ipod and absorbing the world spinning around you in a completely serene and solitary way that almost moves you?
You get that nostalgic feeling that everything is and always has been simplistic and beautiful?

That feeling at that moment is your reality, and that's how I view Broderick's work."

Dubtastic says:

"What I find most inspirational about B's work is his approach. He is one of the few people that can take the average snapshot and quickly turn it into something not only artistic and eye-pleasing, but something classy. He has a great eye and his stream is well worth the watch."

" from fair.... to FAIRLY AMAZING. B's stream is a progression.The birth of a photojournalist doesn't seem to cover it. Broderick takes you there. His photos have progressed from candid looks into his life and joy to vivid windows into our world from his perspective.
Visiting his stream is a treat for the eyes and a delight for the soul. I look at his work and instantly I am transported. I can hear the laughter of friends, the tinkling of glasses and smell the city. Keep taking me away!!!"

"I love Broderick's work. It's become the highlight of my day, everyday, to see what he is up to and how he is seeing the world. He challenges me to see things in a new way. I'm especially impressed by the sensitivity with which he captures urban environments...without judgment, and without pretense."

"I can't believe I'm the first person to write a testimonial for Broderick. He already has the skills and talent to compose beautiful images, but his wide-angle shots are often amazing and even inspiring. The next time I'm in ATL, I'm hitting this dude up for a photowalk--no questions asked."
