My name is Michael Bandy. I live in Los Angeles, California. Living here means there are always new locations to photograph. New events and the ever-changing and fast paced atmosphere make Southern California a great place for the aspiring photographer. Though it can be sometimes overwhelming. This is why my main focus is on nature photography. The landscape photograph in particular is my passion. Getting away from all the stress and noise and finding a beautiful spot in which to photograph is what I love to do. I hope someday my skill progresses enough to make a career out of my passion. In the meantime it is a hobby that I try to enjoy as often as possible. I hope you enjoy my photos and that you get just a small sense of the feeling I had while taking them.

Many of my older photos were taken with a Nikon D80 and a few really old ones with a Canon Powershot S3 IS.
