Getting Started…

Getting started with my photography hobby was pretty easy. I’d spent the last several years working with digital imaging in the health care field and I’d been trained in the technical aspects of digital imaging. After a awhile the whole thing became well, quite “clinical” and the whole “art” of imaging began to escape me. The needs of the company I worked for also began changing and I found myself moving into an IT roll.   I eventually found myself as a Database Administrator monitoring the company’s servers.

As time past I found myself seeking a new hobby. By the time I wittled down the list of things I liked and the list of things I could actually afford, photography found itself at the top of my list.  So after a particularly rough day at work I stopped off at the local consumer electronics store and bought myself a new camera to kick things off.

All of the photographs on this site have been and will be acquired with my newly purchased Olympus       SP-560UZ digital camera. It’s a nicely featured camera (probably more than I’ll ever use) with a nice “heft” to it and a quality feel. It’s optics pack an 18X optical zoom so it doesn’t exactly fit in one pocket, but for the price, features and 8MP picture quality I’ll “suffer” with a camera bag.

Now that’s been addressed, off to  a few of the pictures from day one. (click thumbnail for larger image and additional information.)

That’s about all I really have time for right now. I’ll try to post some additional photos from day one forward as time permits, or feel free to visit my album over at Shutterpoint.

Thanks for stopping by.
