About me
I am a 40-something year old photography enthusiast born and raised on the east coast USA, currently living with my family in Europe. I love taking photos, talking photography, reading about photography, learning from your pages and pictures, and most of all..having fun. I consider myself a “Hobbiest” at best. I took a few photo classes in college, but that was years ago in the day of 35mm negatives and darkrooms. Everything I know now about digital imaging I have learned since buying my Nikon D90 a few years ago, reading the manual, pouring over the internet for help, looking at YOUR posts and blogs, and TAKING PICTURES. This blog is my first, and I hope to use it mostly as a means to explore my hobby and learn from your pages and input.
Hope you had a Happy New Year. Looking Forward to seeing something new soon!

Great pictures! I love those pictures of Provence as having been to France and been to a few of those quaint villages with narrow cobble stone streets and alleys, I can be easily lost in daydreaming.

Nice to meet you!

Hi, I’m an American journalist living in Provence and I just happened on your site. I love your Provence images, of course! I’m thinking I might want to feature one on my site ProvencePost.com so when I have a bit of time, I’ll check back with you on that. Until then, thanks for sharing your work!

Beautiful photos! I’m jealous. I have been telling my self for months now to get a descent camera. I just have to figure out what that would be! I love to take photos but I am just a hobbiest at it, also. The camera I have now doesn’t allow for me to do much. Hopefully, soon I can get one that will. I always marvel at the photos on other people’s blogs. So many great and magnificent shots out there. Keep up the good work. I will enjoy following your words in pictures.

Thanks for your kind words, Ashley. Now that you live in France, you NEED a nice camera. AND if you don’t mind a little advice..The one thing that I did to really take my photography up a level was to get a good guidebook for my camera (I used David Busch’s book on my camera, HIGHLY recommended) and read it COVER TO COVER with camera in hand! This allowed me to really tap into the power and features that my camera provides. Thanks for the visit.
