I live in the north central part of Illinois. I've always enjoyed photography but seemed to always have some other hobby going that took my time up. About roughly 5 years ago I decided to take it a little more serious and dedicate more time and energy to it. I shoot Nikon and that is all I've ever owned from the very start. Even tho I give my Canon shooting friends a hard time, it's not about the brand but rather the tool and how you use it. I enjoy shooting a variety of things from models, to wildlife, to landscape along with a spattering of still art mixed in there. One of the best parts of photography for me is the friendships you make with other photographers and the adventures you go on doing something your all passionate about.
