I have been a camera buff ever since my father bestowed upon me the family Polaroid, which was the kind where you take the shot, pull out the pic, and hold it for 30-60 seconds, then peel the back off of the pic to reveal the shot. Needless to say, it was black and white. I received it when I was around eight, or so. Since then I have went through several different types of cameras, even one use types, but today I do most of my work with a Nikon D50, using either the 28-50mm lens that came with the camera, or a Quantaray 300mm lens that literally allows me to reach out and touch someone, or something. I love getting shots of just about everything. But mostly sunrises and sunsets, as my area, Dalton, Georgia, yields some of the most beautiful around.
