Profile
I’m Alex. I’m a freelance photographer from Milton, ON (That’s in Canada).
I started photography seriously in 2002 during a Media English course in High School. My teacher, Mr. Keane (or Keaner or “The Wizard) was notorious for being a hard marker and very rarely gave out “A’s” on assignments. During the Photography unit 4 out of 5 assignments I handed in earned A’s.
I went out and got my first camera, cost me $5.00 at a local garage sale, a 1969 Minolta Hi-Matic 7s. A couple years later I got for $20.00 a Minolta SRT-102 SLR (circa 1973).
The second person to influence my photography hobby was a friend Rob, from PYPS (www.cnobpyps.com) he was always running around at weekends taking photos of everyone and everything, I’ve sort of followed in his footsteps in that regard.
The next big step for me in photography was when I started exploring Abandoned buildings in 2005, it just took off from there.
Pretty much I’m all self taught, lots of reading, books, free seminars at photography shows and interaction in online forums (Photography Review).
