I've always been interested in photography...since the instamatic days. Had my first 35mm when in high school taking a photography class then. My early 20's brought me to a community college (non-credit) class taught by a local photographer for the Seattle Times. My first digital camera was a point and shoot. Did that for a few years, but really wanted a DSLR. Took part of my meager inheritance when my Mom passed and bought my Canon T3i. This stage of my photography experience has been self taught, leaning on what I remember from years ago. A great deal of what I shoot is right here at home. Sadly, I don't wander too far from home most of the time, so mostly just chronicle my little corner of the world.
