While interested, up until three years ago I had never been into photography, I had only taken the class as a required art credit. But I soon fell in love with it. However out of the three semesters of photography class all I learned was what I already knew. Most of what I do is self taught or just comes naturally from my very critical eye. And a very critical eye I have. Photography is nothing more than a hobby of mine. I'm not quite fancy in what I do; I lack any special equipment other than a point & shoot camera, a tripod, & a monopod. That's it! In the way of processing I simply use Photoshop ELEMENTS 7... which for anyone who has used Photoshop CS5 it's quite a few large steps down. Mainly I would classify myself as a landscape/cityscape/architecture photographer but every now and then I believe stepping outside that box is good for expanding my horizons & pushing normal limits.
