I got into photography sort of by accident. My Dad gave a Kodak Instamatic camera for x-mas. (remember 110 film cartidges.) I was about 12 at the time. I never took a snapshot. I went to the woods. Everyone liked my work. My Dad gave a 35mm camera about a year later. I was off to the races. I just love shooting. I love being out and experiencing the magic hour. (Around sunset and sunrise.) Shooting relaxes me. It brings wonderment and experimentation to my mind. I wound up working on video shoots for a living. It's still so cool to shoot photos and not worry about sound! Me and my Wife love to travel. I always fill up a at least a two gig card on a week's vacation.
