I have taken photos for a long time, lots of film burned on sports, nature and family. My first digital camera was an Apple Quicktake in 1993, and though 16 photos at 640x480 was not great, it was the start.

A 3 megapixel Canon S20 in 2000 started a whole new world of photos. Thousands of photos, hours and dollars later and photography has become quite a passion. Thanks to lots of learning through the RA Photo Club, podcasts, books and magazines have helped me develop both my technical skills and my artistic interests.

My comfort zone started with nature, sports and air shows, with lots of time invested in those areas. Over the past couple of years an emphasis on people has changed extended my area of comfort.

As the site name implies about my philosophy of photography, it is all about the the light. Quantity, quality, direction and color can all be used by the photographer to tell a story and create emotion.

Focus, depth of field, white balance, all the technical stuff.

I learned that while the technical is important, the composition of the main subject and the background had a lot of importance in the image.

Once I started to figure out the composition stuff, then impact and emotion became important.

Now, I am realizing that since photography is literally drawing with light, it is all about the light. Quality, quantity, direction, color.

The journey continues.
