Welcome to my blog.   I hope you like the photographs I’ve posted on my website so far.  I intend to write a blog that is both interesting and informative and I hope you come back to my site from time to time to read my blog updates and to view new photographs as I post them.  If you’d like to be updated when I post a new blog entry or add new photographs, please feel free to add yourself to my email list through the website’s contact link.  Likewise, if you have any questions about photography or about your camera, please feel free to email and I will try my best to answer your questions either in an email or in the blog.  If you decided to be a part of my email list, I promise you that you will not be inundated with emails concerning my site.   I know, personally, how annoying that can be.

I’m amazed still at how many people ask me questions about their cameras or about photography once they hear I own a nice digital camera.  I happen to own the Nikon D300 and I love it.  I guess the Nikon name draws attention towards oneself.  There’s an anonymous quote that is succinct and true.  It goes like this, “Owning a Nikon doesn’t make you a great photographer, it makes you a Nikon owner.”  I’m going to try my best to prove that I’m not just a Nikon owner, but that I’m a knowledgeable and capable photographer.  I’m already feeling the pressure.

In my blog, I will write about the technical aspects of the camera and of photography so that an aspiring, beginning photographer will feel more confident using his camera. I will talk also about the artistic side of photography because I believe that the visualization process of making a photograph can be honed when we learn more about art and what drives us to do our art.  Finally, I will try to turn you on to all the resources I’ve gathered to help me become a better photographer.

Look for my first technical post next week where I will talk briefly about the process of visualization, and begin to talk about how a photographer can master better technical control over his camera.  I’ll start with a discussion on exposure and how we can control it using ISO, shutter speed and aperture.
