Hello all!
I've been looking for an active photography forum to frequent and I think I've found one here. For the last week or so I've been lurking around and decided to finally stick with it and make an introduction post.
A little bit about myself... I am currently serving in the U.S. Air Force and I am stationed in the US Territory of Guam for next 3 1/2 years.
As for photography... I picked up a Nikon D3100 about 3 years ago on my way to visit San Francisco while back home in CA visiting family. I just left it in Auto and snapped away for about 6 months or so.. then one day decided I wanted to actually learn how to us it. I did a YouTube search on "Nikon D3100" and came across a photographer named Jared Polin (FroKnowsPhoto.com) and started watching all his tutorials and such. Once I learned how to make quality photos, I started bugging all my co-workers and friends to let me take photos of their families. After about a year of that I started doing photo gigs on the side until I moved here to Guam.
Unfortunately, here in Guam there is a large amount of Momtographers.... the market it extremely saturated and flooded with cheap fauxtographers. Although I've put the part time jobs on hold, I still shoot as much as I can when given the opportunity for my friends and co-workers.
Most of all though, I just shoot my wife or my daughter that was just born in January. Everything else I shoot is just about anything! I do enjoy taking pictures of people... and I love taking pictures for friends/co-workers of their kids birthday "Cake Smash" type photos... which are always entertaining.. kids hate frosting...weirdos!
For those of you interested, I made the switch to Canon in December of last year when I got here in Guam.
Here are a few pictures for you guys to judge me! =) Looking forward to seeing/sharing everyones work!
Thank you.
