I've been into photography for a long time, but 5 years ago decided to buy my first dSLR and learn what it meant to be a photographer. In the past couple of years, I've started to learn what that means.

Photography is a passion for me. It's something that makes me enjoy life more. And that's what makes me a photographer.

I've learned a lot about cameras, optics, and how light effects them. I understand how my camera works as a tool with the 12 inches behind it. I've even dabbled in 'art' along the way.

I've taken over 60,000 photos since I bought that first dSLR 5 years ago and all of that time is recorded through the imagery I've created.

I've also recently got into video as a way to record time differently with my tools. It has added another element to the skills I've learned and I'm eager to see where I am in another 5 years.
