Well hello everyone, I am 32 years old... with a huge interest in photography. I have well over 15000 pictures being edited so they can be posted here. I have many friends with children that sometimes like the camera and other times run or even make a silly face. They don't understand the silly faces make me take more pictures!

I have been taking pictures all my life ever since I was a child I was given a 110 film camera, crazy I used that thing all the time, spent so much money on disposable flashes and development then went to a 35mm camera.

I started Digital Photography when I got a used Canon 30D in the summer of 2007. And have upgraded to 40D and now 50D this summer 09. I love pictures. I believe it tells the hidden story of our lives and keeps memories where we want them most.

I take pictures outside of just about anything from flowers, buildings, portraits, animals, birds, cars, and at some point going to do a few of my friends weddings.
I have a small studio setup for right now and I take it where ever needed. I made a backdrop stand out of PVC pipes and use clamps to hold colored sheets or fleece to it. It gets the job down. Eventually I will get something lighter and more portable.
