Initially, my goal was just to "capture" the subject at hand, but with time I began to be more and more interested in the artistic and creative side of photography. I learned how to improve the composition through proper lighting and the aesthetics to create pleasing and unique images. I am completely self-taught and still learning all the time.
I photograph exclusively with Canon Digital SLR 21.1 mega pixel pro camera bodies and Canon lens. I recently started Close-Up Macro Photography; this is truly the artistic side of photography!
Computer Aided Graphic Design and Web Development are also passions of mine. I'm a long time member of the International Webmasters Association and the HTML Writers Guild. I am also a standing member of NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals). I also hold the ACE certification (Adobe Certified Expert - CS). You might say that I'm a Photoshop Junky; I just can't get enough of that program! I've been using it since version 2.5 and not a day goes by without working with it. To date, I have mastered Photoshop and Illustrator by 98%, and the other 2%, well... maybe someday, if I live that long!
