First and foremost, I am a photographic aficionado. I will support any and all Photographers and Models who I see putting-out quality work, or even photos with potential.

* If I've added your work to one of my Favorites Galleries, it means I like what I saw and would ultimately like to use it as a reference for my own (glamour/nude/fashion/portrait) photographic works.

* If you comment on my profile or galleries, I will more than likely respond in-kind; more so if you specify which image I recently fav'ed. You have to help me as I feel like kid-in-a-candy-store here, and cannot remember each and every image according to artist.

* If you comment, there is a higher possibility I will browse your entire gallery, so I have an idea of where you're coming from, possibly adding more to my Favorite Gallery collections.

A Copy-Jockey, Print Prince, & Document Creation Diety by day, Digital Photographer by night. If you haven't already guessed, I'm very n00b at photography and digital retouching. I've been taking pictures all my life and played with Photoshop and Illustrator for most of my adult life; but I'm more interested to create photographs.

Comments are always welcome and encouraged.

Interested in working with other artists, local to the San Jose area. I would like to ultimately get into Glamour Photography, but taking one step at a time.

I work with a Kodak Easyshare Z812 IS that I've had since 2008, and it does it's job well (not to say I don't rubber-neck every so often).

Current Residence: Pacific Standard Time
Favourite photographer: Petter Hegre

Mood: Optimism

Another birthday came and went, but it was far from something to celebrate about. I won't go into details, but let's just say "I've had better." To those who remembered (IGotShot & dolYlob), I thank you immensely for the birthday wishes/present.

Two Sundays ago I was granted another photosession with my muse/favorite model, Kat. We took a different direction from what we last tried, going for more Fashion/Glamour than the risque. Needless to say, it paid-off better than I thought it would. I did try Boudoir in the bedroom but those shots ultimately came-out a disaster. I guess requesting an All-Day shoot is too much to ask for from any model.

Having learned a few lessons after said session, I made a desperate purchase that may not have been the wisest of choices. Although I asked the entire Photo Forum, "What Would You Buy?" as a next purchase from the initial Body and Standard Lens, the majority of people said "Lens" (as-in Wide-Angle).

What did I do? Bought an external flash. And not just ANY Flash - a BOWER! Yeah, that lightweight, plastic body Flash that retails for $60. May not have been the smartest move on my part, but I wanted to start getting into using artificial light so I can avoid the high ISOs. So far, it's worked-out pretty well! I just have to remember to baby it like I do my Camera Bag (and all contents - Body, Lens, & BackUp Cam).

Next purchase - 5x8 Softbox Attachment.

Now THAT should make for some AWESOME shots.
