Creativity flows in my blood or at least I'm trying to find it. My father is an artist and I'm looking to see if I received a few of those genes.

I have actually been taking pictures for a very long time. My first camera was a folding Polaroid at age 7. It was when that first picture came out of the camera and developed before my eyes that I fell in love with Photography.

Today there is just no excuse for not taking pictures, but it takes more than just having a camera (even a good one) to produce a photo that speaks. I take photos as a hobby and to let my creative side communicate, but I’m starting to require more.

I joined Flickr to get my photos out of my home computer and into the wild. I would very much like to have comments and constructive criticisms placed with my photos so I can find out if I received any of those creative genes of my father or if not, work towards improvement and getting my photos to speak.
