I've been taking pictures for 3 years with several different cameras. My first camera was a point and shoot. My newest playtoy is a Cannon 5D. I've got two girls, so my playtime is limited. Most of my pictures are of my girls, of course. I'd like to get into portrait photograpy and try different types of lighting and backgrounds.

Time for an update! (Sep 07)

I've been doing a lot of reading on photography. I'm always eager to learn as much as I can. I'll always try new things which is why you see so much variety in my picures I post. I don't like to fiddle with images. The only editing I do is for light/dark and saturation. Maybe a little contrast. I like to use the camera settings to achieve the look instead of using Photoshop. The only filters I have are UV and Polarizing.

Here's my equipment list:

Canon EOS 5D

24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM

85mm f/1.2L II USM

Lensbaby 3G

Lensbaby Macro Kit

NEW!! ExpoDisc Portrait Filter
