Intro

I've always been into photography, but never pushed forward with it. Just over a year ago I purchased my NIKON d3100 camera. Ever since the first day I started playing with it, I've been hooked. When I first started using it, I seen myself only taking it out on special occasions. Now, I wish I could take this camera everywhere I go. I really enjoy shooting. I have not taken any classes (I do plan to in the future). I have been learning by articles I read, other photographers, and most importantly, experience. It really amazes me how one little setting on the camera can really make a difference to the picture being taken. I am understanding more and more that anyone can pick up a descent quality camera and take a good photograph. But what makes for a great photograph is understanding the composition, lighting, subject, etc. Photographs should be able to set a mood and tell a story for the viewer.

As I continue to take photographs, I continue to learn. Please don't hesitate to comment, critique, and give advice. It's only going to make me a better photographer.

A picture is worth 1,000 words, but a picture also creates a memory. A memory can last a lifetime.
