I am presently in the military in the medical field stationed in NJ and also have a home in NJ, married with two children, Emily 14 and Jonathan 11
my first real interest in photography began in Nov 2004 when I purchased a Casio Xlim (7 megapixels at that time cost me $400!), however, I have always surrounded myself by images of all kinds, funny ones, emotional ones, you name it
presently, I have, a nikon d40x purchased in aug 2007, also have a canon powershot sx110, canon powershot sd1400, and an iphone!
in aug of 2007 I began using photoshop cs3 and now have cs5, I am a intermediate user of photoshop and use it pretty much everyday in order to eventually master it, I do have two wacom tablets for two laptops, I have concentrated on ps strongly over the last 3.5 years since the learning curve is so steep and It seems to me that lots of practice and perseverance with this program is key to getting a handle on it
I love all kinds of photography but leaning towards nightime and lighting effects, I am especially fascinated by the concept of light! I have over 30,000+ images over the last 4 years and some of them I believe are quite descent but we will see, you all have the great eyes here!!
I take criticism well and look forward to learning from all of you!
