The Photographer
You could say that I stepped into the world of Photography through the back door.
12 Years ago I was introduced to Adobe Software and Print Imaging for a large corporation and a family owned Businesses.
Every project I worked on compelled me to study Graphic Design and Print Imaging with a passion.
Little did I know it was drawing me closer to photography.
Shortly thereafter, I began taking pictures with my cell phone, promoting my wife's jewelry business. Some people laughed and some complemented, either way I was hooked on Photography and composition.
My sister Missy noticed my gift
for taking pictures and freely
gave me her Sony Camera.
Wow, my very first DSLR.
Needless to say, I went crazy.
I began taking shots of everything.
A co-worker noticed
my photographs and asked me
to take engagement pictures of
his fiance and himself.
The session went so well,
I decided to invest in a Canon Camera and some photography equipment.
Long story short, here I am realizing that printing and Graphic Design was the backdoor to a very necessary part of photography
and I'm loving every minute of it.....
