Profile
I’ve been interested in photography ever since I was a kid, but I’ve just pursued it on and off. I became a lot more serious about it after I purchased my DSLR last year and learn something new everyday. I’m now addicted!
I enjoy taking photographs of everything but primarily flowers and nature. I’d love to shoot some beautiful landscapes if I can ever get anywhere scenic! I’ve been to lots of wonderful places but all before I had a really good camera!
About me – I’m half American and half English. My mother is English but moved over here shortly after she married my dad. My dad was in the USAF and stationed in England when he met my mom. I was born over there and lived there a total of eight years as a child/teenager during my dad’s two tours of duty at RAF Wethersfield and RAF Lakenheath. So naturally I have a love for both countries. I still have family and friends in England. I last visited England (Northamptonshire, Suffolk and London) in May 2004, and hope to visit again before too long!
My other interests are travel, gardening, reading, surfing the internet, and listening to music.
Constructive criticism and advice welcomed.
