I'm a 34-yr-old self-taught Graphic Designer. I've taken classes here or there, but nothing beats the old fashioned way of learning - trial and error!!

I've been blessed to be able to work full-time for my church for the past 8 years! I also love to dive into photography when I'm away from my desk, and (as a designer) I'm prone to experimenting with digital effects (faux lomo, tilt-shift, hdr, lightroom filters, textures, etc.)

I started a Flickr account to encourage my photo habit and hopefully develop stronger skills in the process. (And meet other talented photographers!) I've been away for a few years now but am slowly diving back in. Landscapes and cityscapes are my favorite subjects and I would love to travel for a living! My sister and I also started a photoblog this year called "SHUTTERbitten" - check out the link in the sidebar!

My Current Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18

My Desired Camera: I'm actually seriously considering upgrading to a compact interchangeable lens camera - the Samsung NX1000 or Sony Alpha NEX-5 topping the list.

Also, I have an identical twin sister who is on flickr as well: SunnySideUp79
