I like to think the photography community is a positive one. It is filled with great people that are very passionate about art, helping others, and helping to expand it to more and more people.

It is great to be out in nature with a camera. Unfortunately, most times that I am able to get out the light and the weather isn’t all that compelling.

Take a look at the work you have seen done by other artists you like. How much of their work is unlike anything else that already exists?

I have all sorts of lenses and many different subjects. I have only shot one lens on my Fuji though, and I only really need the one because I know it is by default going to be the best!
