I have always had a special love of photography for as long as I can remember. I purchased my first dSLR in the spring of 2007 and have been addicted since then. I mainly enjoy shooting outdoors in available light.

 

I enjoy traveling quite a bit - to me theres nothing better than new places to explore and see [and photograph!].

 

Please feel free to leave comments on my photos, I love to hear what others think and appreciate constructive guidance.
