I run the Photolight Meetup group, so if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, stop by and check us out—we're always doing something interesting.

I'm all about sharing the knowledge. If you have questions about any of the things below and want my feedback, feel free to message me and ask!

"I find it funny and kind of charming that groups devoted to praising creative and skillful pieces of art have the most hideously garish awards I've ever seen:)" —from philip918's profile
