A visual account of my adventures as I daringly step into the world of photography. Also a display of my ever-growing Photoshop knowledge as I try to hide my creatively ignorant screw-ups.

I am a mostly self-taught photographer trying to make my way in the photo world. I took a photography class in high school, but everything I've learned since then has been on my own. I love reading online tutorials and how-to's and I am always reading a new photography book.

I love spending hours exploring other people's work on Flickr and I'm constantly inspired to improve my own photos.

I bought my first DSLR, a Nikon D40, in June 2007. I learned a lot from that little camera.

I'm constantly learning and I'm having a blast doing so. I love trying new tricks and techniques and seeing my photos improve.

  

My best friend Aubrey and I started Every Little Moment Photography in Summer 2007. You can check out our work here.

SHE is great. Yup. Great. Her work reflects thought, time, energy and heart. It's hard to look at just one image. You MUST go through and see more and more....fun times and lotsa love found here.

I'd like to be the FIRST to "testify" that Sam rocks! I'm so glad she's set this gallery up so I can see her latest and greatest! (She's also a great photoshop tutor)
