i dont really know how i got into it.
i was late getting a digi cam. i took a few pics here and there. nothing special.
i knew i wanted something better.

i went to europe with a Canon G4 and then came back bought a Canon S500 then went nuts and got a Canon 350D (rebel XT) i have 3 lenses and about 2k put into it.
with just over 8k shots on the body

My current camera was a freebie from my buddy Jay, he upgraded and I didn't have one of my own. I just like capturing the moment I guess, and I tend to think about photography quite a bit. I'm always in this situation where I'm like, "God I wish I had a DSLR right now....." lol

I took this with a friends Canon 20D

i have a sony cybershot dsc-w30 that i got for graduation from my grandpa. that kinda got me into photography, but ir really only gave me a means. i have always been sorta into it.
i love to travel and have been many beautiful places (england, paris, Nice, Monaco, Florence, Rome, South Africa, etc.). seeing all of this beauty, both natural and manmade, got me interested in capturing it. just recently have i really gotten into it. here are a few shots ive taken:




(the gf!)
and my current favorite, i took it in paris (obviously) when i went with school a year and a half ago.
