I’ve love photography since I got my first DISC camera back in the early 80’s. I took so many pictures of Kansas and Germany when I was stationed there. After I got out I ended up buying a nice 35mm Nikon with a couple of different lenses and it started. Everywhere I go the camera went with me.

I’ve shot 4 wedding now and several other functions. I only did it because they asked me, and of course since I was doing it for free the price was right. I hated the weddings though. Not because I didn’t want to take the photos, but because I was so nervousness. If I mess up on a typical photo I’m taking, No big deal. But, If I screw a wedding there is no do-overs. (well kinda sort of – divorce and remarry) But I still kept shooting everything… documenting my families life along with family and friends.

I’ve went through so many camera’s I’ve lost count. I’ve had a Sony Maciva (3 1/2 floppy disc) another Sony Mini CD camera, Olympus 5060W, Underwater Olympus, Snappy Q 35mm, Canon point and shoot, Panasonic Point and Shoot, Olympus 3.1 mega pixel, Olympus underwater, Canon Rebel XT, Nikon 35mm, and now I’m shooting with this Canon T3i. I’m sure I’ve forgotten a bunch but you get the picture… no pun intended there.

My youngest son and I enrolled into a photography class at a local camera shop. I actually did it for him but after 1 class I had to admit  how much I did not know. It was awesome and renewed my love of photography once again.

So when you see me walking around with my camera stop and say, “Cheese”!
