Hello! My name is Owen and I am an amateur hobbyist photographer and began photography back in 2009. My favorites subjects are landscapes and nature because of my love of National Parks and my travels to them. I do not have any professional schooling for photography so any critiquing is more than welcome! Also please forgive me if I do not reply to comments on my photos. Unless they are a direct question to me I will avoid giving thank you replies to people in efforts to combat everyone that does comment from getting unnecessary announcements on my photos. Be assured I do appreciate all comments very very much!!! Look forward to improving my photography through inspirational photos of other photographers and meeting other photographers on Flickr!
