Photography Portfolio

I consider myself an amateur and relatively new to the world of photography. I have an old friend, James Northey to thank for getting me into this hobby. I have had a blast learning about photography and learning new techniques and ways to view the world around me every day. I also like that it pushes me to stop, view and enjoy the moment. I have Flickr.com to thank for what seems to be new inspiration and ideas and views that seem to keep pushing me forward in ability to capture better and better photos of some of the wonderful places and people that surround me.

Below are some samples of my photography. All images in this section are pulled from my Flickr page so they may take a minute or two to load. Click on small images below to view thumbnails from the various image sets.
