I have been a photo bug ever since I could remember. I never had the time of money to invest in equipment or education. But that did not stop me from shooting what I like. I was given the opportunity a few years back by the Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC) in a veterans program to get a taste of what it is like to be a real photographer. They pushed us and thats what started my new adventures in photography. Yea compared to all the pros out there I am a beginner. I made an agreement with myself that as a new artist, I would shoot things I like, provide perspectives I like and ignore everything else. Not to say I am seeking advice and help in improving the way I do my craft--I need that!
I like shooting the things you may not see on the beaten path, well sometimes I fall victim to the "popular" sites that 10 million other people decided to take photos of, its hard not to! But then I look for alternative perspectives.
I am an explorer at heart, and sometimes I stumble into things others may miss. In trying to take the "perfect" photo of a bridge in Boston that 10 million other people took a photo of, I found this late night skate park under that very bridge and found it more intriguing.
