Photography & Me

I first got into photography when I traveled to France back in 2006 with a Canon PowerShot SD200. After taking over 1000 photos in two weeks, I realized I had found a new passion. Wanting to improve my skills, I bought a used Canon 300D with which to practice. For two years, this camera served me well. I added to my collection of gear and picked up a lot of new techniques along the way. Sadly, my 300D recently died, but it gave me an excuse to upgrade to a Canon EOS 40D.

I'm a long-time supporter of Flickr, and I post all my shots there exculsively. Check out my photostream, and add me as a contact!
