Photography

09/25/12 | photography

As my 27th post (my favorite number, as it is the day I was born) I am devoting a post to my favorite hobby: photography.  Pictures are one of the things in life that I am the most passionate about. you can usually find me with a camera always in my bag, no matter how large or small, snapping away at anything and everything I find interesting.  Among my friends I am regarded as the one who will always have a camera and be there capture the moment, even if it is a staged photo. I have 86 albums on Facebook that I have used to share pictures with friends and family.

Someone asked me why I take pictures of scenery. I answered that I like to capture the beautiful and then be able to view it at a later time.  This same gentleman told me that I should take pictures of people because I will be the only person in the world to have captured that moment in time of that individual or group of individuals. Well, now I do both.

For standard everyday pictures my preference is my Canon PowerShot SD1400IS 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom in Black.  When I want to take real pictures I use my Nikon D40x.

I have traveled fairly extensively and have been able to capture many amazing things which for the past three years have been featured on my website where people are able to view my work, buy prints, and then contact me regarding photography jobs.
