Photography Portfolio

i am a self taught photographer.  i have always had an interest in photography, but besides one high school yearbook class, had no real training or any experience besides all the little point and shoot cameras i had growing up.  after a failed attempt at graduate school, i decided to trade in the life i had for a SLR, a backpack full of film and a plane ticket to london.  i spent a couple of months wandering around europe with no agenda except to take as many photographs as i could, learn as much as i could, and not develop a single roll until i got back home (i didn’t want to stop the momentum of the experience should i find out my photos sucked!).  turns out i enjoyed myself hugely, experienced my changing environments in a different way through the lens, and ended up taking some pretty good photos in the process.  most of the time, i am as surprised as anyone at what i’ve managed to capture on film.  over the years of my photography, i find that i am drawn to buildings and nature more often than people, that i love shooting with film while going digital has been nothing but convenience for me, and that i usually prefer to take pictures of things that move me in the moment rather than work on assignment.  perhaps that says as much about my photography skills as it does about the kind of person i am!
