I'm an amateur photographer who has been shooting things with cameras since probably childhood. I try to take my camera with me whenever possible, because just about anything can make a great shot. But if I don't pack my camera, I can be sure that that excellent shot would be missed and I'd be angry at myself....

I took the plunge and upgraded my account. It may take a little while for me to get organized and have the batches/collections as I want them.

Note: Most of my images uploaded here are resized sized around 640 x 480 and have my username as a semi-transparent watermark. I may upload higher res versions upon request, but keep my username somewhere in the image. 2010 update: My latest pictures lack the watermark and are a larger format, but the same rules apply.
