I've never thought of myself as a writer of any sort let alone a blogger, so here goes...
I am a webmaster by trade, starting off as a technical illustrator right out of high school. The positions I have held have taken me into graphic design in marketing and ad agencies here in SoCal then into web design. I still take pictures but now I work on data-driven websites and get to shoot and post produce digital video. I have to say, this is lots of fun too!
I got my first camera back in the 70s, a Pentax with a screw-on telephoto lens. I had a blast learning how to use it. I shot everything: family, friends, landscapes even squirrels. I found my love for sports photography around the mid-90s shooting roller and ice hockey. I have since taken up shooting bicycle racing and loving every minute.
I have had the pleasure of shooting with experienced photogs and learning as much as I possibly can. So far the most fun has been shooting a 24 hour mountain bike race in Canada. While on location I used equipment provided me. When I got home I went through the controls on my camera and immediately thought I just HAD to upgrade! ;-) I'm still saving for that "ultimate" camera...
Recently I have taken up "project 365." the challenge is to take and publish (upload in my case) an image a day for a year. For me, I am using just my iPhone for this project: no interchangeable lenses, minimal exposure controls. Then I publish my images to My Facebook page. So far, I have had many positive comments from my FB friends and family.
That's about it for now.
