Like many, I've had an interest in photography for a while, but never had the time or (more importantly) the money to pursue it as a hobby until recently.

I purchased my first dslr camera at the end of August 2007 as an early birthday present to myself. Prior to my purchase, I rummaged through books at my local library, ordered books online, and searched websites trying to learn as much as I can about photography; essentially, reading anything I could get my hands on (which I still continue to do).

From what started out for me just wanting a hobby and a creative outlet, has now turned into an obsession.

I can't begin to tell you how inspiring it is to see some of the photos on Flickr. It has made me stop and really look at the environment around me.

If you would like to use any of my photos, please ask first.

Thanks for stopping by.
