I’ve been into photography all my life. Although I’ve always had a point and shoot camera I finally received a 10.2 mega pixel DSLR in December of 2006. I’ve been going crazy ever since. My wife’s minor in college was photography so I always bounce my shots off her and she’s very good at creative comments. I hope you like my work as much as I do, please take a look at all that I’ve uploaded.
UPDATE:
I now Have a SONY DSLR A350. I figured what the heck so now I’m in more debt. This camera has even better color saturation and is 14.2 megapixels. The files aren’t much bigger but since I already had a Tamron 28-300mm macro- zoom and a 16Gig compact flash I stuck with SONY. I shot over 14,000 pictures with my last camera and hope to beat that with this one. On my wish list is the Tamron 90mm macro lens which I hope to have early next year.
