I have taken pictures for a long time, but have started getting into good photography the last few years. (I mean using the proper light, good composition, and etc.) Most of my photos are taken in the local area, the southern Oklahoma town of Durant, in the United States. Photography has allowed me to get out of the house more, sometimes I get out in cold or hot conditions to take pictures. (In the past I would be comfortable inside the house, but not getting good pictures. I guess, 'No Pain, No Gain'.) Anyway, that's it.
