I am new at photography, started in June 2008 by entering a photography competition group where i thought my photos would be good enough, i was in for a rude awakening! I realized my shot were just that “snapshots” so i asked questions, soaked up all the advices and tips i could get and worked hard to improved my photos, i think i managed to achieve a great deal in a short time. Since i couldn’t draw to save my life, neither can i play a musical instrument, Photography is my way to express myself.
I do mostly everyday things, portraits (my daughter), digital art and abstracts.
I have Awesome friends who don’t hesitate to give CC and help me grow in my art. Thanks to all of you (you know who you are)
I use a Canon power shot A520 right now. Yes a little point and shoot!
