(Updated 4/8/2013) A first cut at my Photography Biography: I have been taking photographs off and on since I was 21. I have gradually become more and more interested in photography over the years and learned a fair amount along the way. In about February of 2012 I was asked to photograph a Quinceanera so I borrowed my Dad's digital SLR camera and fell in love with it the first day. I watched about a hundred 5-minute YouTube videos one weekend after an initial search for "photo lighting" on Google and learned a tremendous amount. Since then I have photographed many events, people, places, and things, upgraded to my own DSLR camera, purchased various accessories, and had lots of fun. Photography is one of my biggest passions.
