I'm a hobbyist photographer interested in sharing my experiences and journey in the craft and desire for good photography. Due to a demanding job, I do not have much time to devote to understanding every aspect (there's so much to learn), however, I seek to provide realism in my photos with light edits that attempt to mirror the beauty of what can be accomplished with light, motion, and setting. Over the years, I think true and honest photography has become a declining art due to the simplicity and instantly perfected photos from today's smart phone cameras. My hope is to inspire others like me who want to share but never do because of not 'measuring up' to the pros. I hope you enjoy my Photostream and feel free to give me advice, critique, or direction. I started with a Nikon D5300, which provided beautiful photos of the Canadian Rockies (see my album) and many more I haven't posted here, so pick up what you have and post!
