I have been taking photos since I was 10 years old. Seeing the photos my older brother Elliot had taken at his age then, I wanted to have my own pictures to show around. I started with an old hand down film camera. The point and hoot was a fun little thing and survived my early years. I then moved on to a SLR film camera. The Cannon Rebel 2000 had plenty more manual functions but I had not yet gotten "in depth" with the the full use of the camera, but nonetheless was a step forward. My next camera could be then considered a step backwards since it was a Cannon Powershot. The point-and-shoot though, had a full set of manual settings. It was my first digital camera. From that I learned about the power of the manual functions and what could be done with it. The camera survived two europe trips, skiing in -20 degree weather, and countless times being dropped onto cement. At this point I was starting to take interest in photography and the beauty you can get out of it. Even if it was a simple handheld camera. When the thing finally broke down, I decided it was time to step it up a notch. I worked through the summer and finally bought myself a Cannon 400D DSLR. Soon after, a 55-300 mm telephoto lens for a larger variety of shots. I love to shoot for the fun of it, you can always do something new with a camera.

This photo has gotten me the most attention so far, I took this shot in Prauge, Czech Republic. I have the full story of this shot in it's profile. It's received close to 9000 views, and is still climbing, slowly but surely.
