My name is Brad and I like taking pictures. I'm learning how to make my pictures better and the learning process if quite fun. My favorite subjects are people (particularly family), nature and normal, boring objects. Thankfully I live with a beautiful woman and three adorable little boys - my camera easily looks at them. We live on 86 acres along the Fox River in St. Charles, Illinois, which provides a lot of nature that wants to be photographed. And the everyday, normal stuff I just try to find and give some character to.
