My photography journey started officially in August 2006 when I decided to take the extra money I had now that we were married and I didn't have to keep paying for wedding stuff and buy myself a digital SLR, the Canon Rebel XT. I had wanted to really get into all the technical aspects of photography for a long long time, since high school when I had to pass up taking photography as an art class to take all my science and math classes. Since the price of digital SLR had finally reached an affordable level I decide to jump in and teach myself. This blog has chronicled most of my photography journey. On this page I have compiled links to posts that share the most important things I have learned.
