I am a hobbyist photographer. I began taking pictures at about age 10 and then got my first darkroom set at age 12. I probably spent as many hours in my darkroom as my kids spend on video games today. I loved seeing pictures develop in the trays. Then life got in the way and I got away from photography for probably 20 years. The last few years I have began re-kindling my love of photography. I have been enjoying PhotoShop almost as much as my old darkroom. I am primarily interested in beauty and fine art portrait photography.
