Beginnings

Welcome:
Hello, thank you for taking time to visit my blog. This really isn't my first blog (check out Home Blog.) .  That blog was more on the construction of my second home. This blog is all about me reflecting on photographs/video I will take (hopefully) on upcoming sessions. 

a Little About Me:
Since I was little, I have always enjoy taking pictures and being in pictures. I have lots of pictures in Albums, several slides, and loads of negatives.  I am taking the time to scan in my negatives. Right now, I am starting with my oldest son's birth since I had not gone digital at that time (Nikon N2000). When I was in High School, my parents gave me my first camera gear.  It was a Vivitar 35mm and Flash.  I can not tell you what model it was but I still have the Flash (I'll mention it in a later post, but it was one of their first bounce flashes).  I took some type of photo class after school.  This is where I first learn how to develop B&W negatives. Once in College, I took a two semesters of photography and pick up the Nikon N2000.  It came with a 50mm f1.8(I think) lens. I learned a lot in those two classes but from that point it was over. The money involved for each class was double in cost. But I still continue to take pictures. 

currently:
Today, I am a computer programmer.  I develop web applications but I am not a web site designer ;).  Recently, I started doing a little videography that has led me back to my passion of photography.  I took an advance 4 week class at Bedfords. It was very good.  It really help me understand more about digital cameras.  I am slowly starting this side project/business. I actually have an upcoming session that I look forward too. Each time I have a session, I will post a few pictures here.  Feel free to leave any remarks about the pictures.

Thanks for visiting! Yes, Jenny Heck is a great example of taking a risk and going for it. She just carpooled with me to a Jack Davis Seminar last night...

I took the long road, with a business on the side for 4 years before I really got confident. Now I've been a full-time for a year and a half and it's the best thing I ever did! You have a wonderful advantage in terms of your programming experience. I'm just learning Lightroom now and I've put it off for months :)
