I am entering my second year of digital photography and digital editing
I am not a "professional nor will I claim to be but I do try to shoot quality ideas.
I have recently picked up a "REAL" lens for my camera - a Canon Rebel XTi
The lens is an 18mm-200mm Sigma Zoom with image stabilization built in.
I picked up the lens from Beach camera , in June of 2008 .
so at this point I am still getting used to the lens and it's quirks.

I am happy to allow people to use my images at no charge for NON_Commercial use
If interested in a more detailed version, just drop me an email asking for your favorites.

Many places we shoot on Monday nights are spots where a single person might not be exactly safe shooting alone with a nice camera

These slide shows are just the beginning
please bear with me as my experience grows
Digital photography is now my way of coping with the lose of my "physical" life
My back injury robbed me of my woodworking , hiking , hunting , canoeing , karate
and all those types of really physical things I loved to do.
So far photography has been a great way to channel my energies
for as long as my back allows me to "work" at it.
The increased pain that movement ( and sitting at the computer ) brings
limits a lot of the factors involved with photography
where I can shoot now is limited by my my movement abilities
the time I can spend to drive to a site and walk around shooting ,
is now limited to usually 2 hours or less ,depending on how the pain increases
Even sitting here working on photoshopping the pictures is usually limited to
about an hour at a time , due to sitting increasing my pain levels.
But this does keep my mind active and EXCITED
Any advice or criticism of my "work" is always welcome AND appreciated
