"Things don't have to be extraordinary to be beautiful. The ordinary can be just as beautiful" - Matthew, Wicker Park

There's a lot of stuff in my Photostream. I highly suggest starting here to get an idea of my work. I also have many collections to browse through as well.

I've been taking pictures since I was 7ish when my Mom let us use the cool new instant Polaroid. I was never that serious about photography, but always seemed to have a camera around. I like to think my mother planted the seeds, but it just took 20 or so years for it to really sprout.

When I started realizing that some of my shots really weren't that bad, I read up on photography and digital SLR cameras. I splurged on a Canon Digital Rebel XT and quickly became hooked on photography.

I'm self taught through several books and lots of trial and error. Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson is a book I recommend to everyone and it's still one that I reread occasionally. Scott Kelby's many books have helped me understand photoshop and lightroom better than I ever expected.

Any comments on my photos are greatly appreciated. I love constructive criticism, because it really helps view the photo from someone elses perspective. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy taking them!
