Even though photography has been around for quite some time, it is still  largely undefined.  Naturally, advancements in technology help to keep limitations out of the picture.  I like to take advantage of the new advancements; however, I also like to kick it old school on occasion. 

Before I really got into photography, I was under the impression that a good picture  only required a good camera.  I think a lot of people have that misconception.  The truth is that it requires a lot of skill, experience, as well as quality lenses and lighting instruments.

As far as my style, I largely like to remain undefined; however there are a few principles that I have adopted.  For one, I like to have a well defined subject, or group of subjects.  I also like to isolate subjects from their surroundings.  The most important thing for me though is that the picture triggers an emotion form the viewer.  

Can I do fancy stuff in photoshop?  I have been working with programs like Lightroom and Photoshop for several years.  I have had training from 2 colleges, as well as from many professionals.  That being said, most of my workflow is pretty basic.  I use to do more artwork to my photos; however, there comes a time when a photographer needs to decide if they are a graphic artist first or second.  I began to work extensively with films in 2009, and that brought me back around to the basics.
