I have been interested in photography for about 12 years now. I started with my Mom's Nikon EM and a 50mm f1.8, which is about as basic as you can get. From there I bought a somewhat newer Nikon FG and then moved to a medium format camera, a Yashica D. With this Yashica, I learned how to develop film. This is a lengthy process but well worth it in the end. I finally was able to buy a DSLR while in

school at MSU. It was a basic Nikon D40 with the kit lens and a 55-200mm. This was light years ahead of the technology I was using, but I am grateful for having started with film. I learned the basics with film and adapted that to the digital realm. My knowledge of how light worked with f-stops, shutter speeds and ISO greatly increased with digital because I could see the results right away. Once I got to this point, there was no turning back. I quickly realized that I needed a better camera and better lenses. A better camera does not make you a better photographer, but as a tool, it will take you to better places that you are otherwise limited to by your gear. So that being said, I have upgraded camera systems to better fit my photography goals. This changed my focus from mostly nature and landscapes to now include portraiture. I'm heavily influenced by these other photographers. Jared Polin (AKA Fro Knows Photo) has given so much information to the world of photography from every aspect. Chase Jarvis, a commercial photographer, has let us into his professional life with his blog and chasejarvis Live. The boys at Lightenup and Shoot have vast knowledge about off camera flash photography as well as on-location shoots. I would also like to include David Hobby and the Strobist website, David DuChemin the true Vision Monger as well as Zack Arias for his blog. Lastly, Ansel Adams, the father of landscape and environmental photography as well as an innovator in the darkroom, inspires me to get out and capture the land as I see it. I also pull inspiration from the amateur photographer, the enthusiast, people with no tie downs to their creativity, and you.I hope you can understand my passion and involvement in this art form from my photographs.Thank you for visiting, enjoy the pictures and come back often.
