Amateur photographer continuing to learn by trial and error. Bought a camera to take shots of my children, they told me to learn to take pictures of subjects other than them, soooo..... The more I shoot the more I realize I have no clue what I am doing half the time. Not a very disciplined shooter, I have no area that I concentrate on. Sort of shoot by the rule of serendipity.
Update: I spend most of my days in dimly lit rooms, studios and stages using my ears for work. Maybe photography is an natural progression or filling a void. After thousands of pictures I am still not disciplined with my shooting, but now I consider myself to be experienced amateur…my focus beep is off, the rest of the world doesn’t need reassurance when I’m in focus or for that mater that I am even present with a camera … ( just like a ninja).
I have gotten more confident about what looks pleasing and I'm fortunate that interesting subjects have passed into frame, but at the end of the day I am just another sound guy with a camera and there are lots of us!
"If you smile at me I will understand, that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language" Crosby, Stills & Kantner
I enjoy trying a bit of every thing

The color and the clarity of your images is nothing short of amazing. Combine this with great framing, and interesting choice of subject matter, and you have one of the nicest galleries on Flick.r
Annie Leibovitz said photography was not about special cameras or lenses, it is about telling a story. This photographer knows how to tell a story. The images of people drew me in immediately. They are so empathetic and human. They give me a needed dose of optimism. Thank you.

You have some great shots for sure. So keep on snapping away. Most important you having fun photographing you a natural.

I came to discover your photographic images after you faved some of mine. I am impressed! You are (by now) a talented and experienced photographer, one with an unmistakable talent! If I may give a suggestion: try to honor each image with a title. Your title words are often surprising and refreshing. It is a pity that some great pictures still only are accompanied by a number. But apart from that: Congrats and please continue like that. Or like we say it in Dutch: Proficiat!

Thank you for stopping by my channel and faving some images. You say you are an undisciplined photographer but you are actually good at what you do. You have a good camera so in the hands of a good photographer that should and does yield good results. I'm curious about a couple of things, why you selected the images you did to fave (two are special effects) and why you went to Vietnam. Did you serve and if so when and with whom? I will follow you because you do turn out some very nice images. Keep it up.
Read lessSerendipity is serving your art form well when most others don't even understand nor exhibit the rule of thirds, you have surpassed it but are so humble to call yourself an amateur! Your Rule of Serendipity should be made the new industry standard. By gosh I think you've got it!
For answering to your profil, Larry, the most important with the photography is to have fun ! So, let's go !
