I enjoy taking pictures of just about anything or anyone, whether in color or black and white. I have spent a winter weekend in Yosemite and a night in the rain in San Francisco taking pictures. A simple drive through the country or a trip to the railroad yard may provide some amazing pictures.

As I have taken more pictures I have become more comfortable with the concept of seeing art in everyday things. Some of the things I have captured are quite funny and others are just plain odd. In reality the overwhelming majority of pictures I have taken are rubbish. I am so thankful that I switched to digital a couple of years ago because I was spending a fortune developing film!

Since this is just a hobby for me I have a really hard time justifying huge expenses on camera equipment. My first real investment was a good camera body and a pair of decent lenses as well as a really good tripod. I shoot with a Canon Digital Rebel. I hope to add a better Canon Digital SLR later this year as well as some really good Canon lenses.
