Photography. Where to start? I always remember having some sort of a camera or another. The first one I really remember was an old disc film based camera back in the day. Next up I remember making a pinhole camera out of cardboard in Jr. High School in shop class, was quite fun and I really enjoyed it. Had a film SLR for awhile, I think it was a Nikon, not sure…
Then I moved on to digital point and shoots - Canon Powershot A20 and A70s. Being in computers, it made sense and the lure of digital photography was too much. Sometimes I think it was a mistake, I have some good shots composition wise, but through the ones I had, I never really used the cameras to the full capabilities - and I lost a lot of my knowledge I’d gained from using film.
Enter November 2007… my first digital SLR, the Canon Digital Rebel XTi (400D). I love it. It’s opened up photography for me again in ways I couldn’t imagine and beyond…
I don’t really have a specific style… I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, I just like to try different things and experiment with my camera and Photoshop - see what I can do with the camera and with post-processing. That being said, I give my best effort to getting the composition, framing and lighting right in camera and most of my photos are post-processed for clarity and perhaps minor color and curves adjustments. However, certain photos I will post-process to the max with techniques like HDR (high dynamic range) Imaging and simulating cross-processing.
In December 2008 I upgraded to the new Canon 5D Mark II with a 24-105 f/4L lens. I must say, it's a huge leap up from the XTi.

""Jason is so creative and he has done an outstanding job developing a style all his own. When I see my contacts' thumbnails, I can immediately identify an original Pixelens before I see who shot it -- the mark of a great artist. Jason's photostream is one that has become a personal "must-check" every day. He also seems like a pretty good guy.""
