People -
I haven't reached that point in my photography as an art, where I can walk up to someone on the street and ask permission to take a portrait shot. I know it's just nerves, but my dedication to getting the shot for art's sake just isn't strong enough...yet.
So you'll see pics of my family here mainly. I admit that it's not so "professional" to just showcase a bunch of family shots, but I'm not a professional and take pics of what I have available.
One thing I hope you see, is an SLR camera can so dramatically change the caliber of shots you get, just by virtue of having nicer equipment. Though to be fair, you can pull good shots from any camera if you have the eye for it. As well if you have the eye, and love it, take pictures with what you have. Professional photographer Chase Jarvis makes a good case when he states "The best photos don't come from megapixels or expensive cameras, they come from being there to capture the moment as it happens." Check his site out here.
But, if you don't have an SLR (single lens reflex) camera, and you love taking photos, it's worth taking a quick look at these shots to see what we've been able to capture since we've purchased one. You'll see as well, if you take a look at the Equipment I use, that you don't need much to get going.
