About the Photoblog

Welcome to the Photoblog. Thanks for stopping by.

I will tell you up front that I am an amateur with no formal training. Almost everything I know about photography has been through trial and error and asking lots of questions. One day I will likely take a class, but until then, I will continue taking pictures and trying new things. I know not all my pictures are amazing, but I enjoy taking them, and I hope you enjoy viewing them. Please feel free to send me some feedback.
