I've been taking a lot of photos lately, more specifically since I got my new photography equipment. I actually have about 8gigs of photos on my computer now from just February on. That's already more than I've taken in any two or three years since 2000 when I first began messing around with photography.

Though I've been doing this for a couple years I still consider myself a beginner since I really don't know the ins and outs of what it takes to make a good photo. However, I seem to have a natural talent for it. Not that I am bragging because I'm not, it's just that it seems like it's not that hard to come up with really good shots that even impress me . Sometimes I can't believe I actually shot some of the things I've gotten pictures of.

This is good for me and good for my clients if one should so choose to take advantage of my photography skills. It is also good for those who I do graphic work for because now I can get exactly what I want on my own without having to use someone else's work (stock pictures and such) or something of less quality than I really want.

I really never meant the photography to take over a semi-pro aspect to it but as it turns out I'm ok at it. I'm good enough that in just a short time people have favorited my work several times (very unexpected) and now someone has featured one of my shots in their article on deviantART (one of my favorite art sites).



This is a shot of my daughter on a nice sunny day right at the beginning of Spring. I enjoy this pic because it shows a bit of her personality and how at such a young age she gets how to pose for the camera effectively. Not that it's a full grasp, but you should really see some of the poses she strikes when she sees the lens pointed in her direction.

I can't wait to get out to the Zoo and grab some nice shots of the animals there!
