“Every artist was first an amateur.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
I’ve drawn inspiration and encouragement in my life from a multitude of people. People to whom I am forever indebted, but a few years ago, though sheer happenstance really, I came across the work of two photographers that I suspect have done more than any to open my eyes to what photography is and could be.
I’ve owned a few point and shoot cameras over the last decade and have always enjoyed snapping pictures here and there. As much as I tried though I could never quite develop the look and feel I wanted or even explore the possibilities I saw in other photographers. That changed about a year ago when I was given my first DSLR and a whole new world was opened to me where I could explore not only the myriad of options available through just the camera, but in what modern technology allowed through post-processing.
