Howdy! I'm Russ from California!

[Russs]

Howdy! I'm Russ and I'm 16. I'd consider myself a beginner when it comes to photography since I only started it last August. My therapist ( I consider him more of a mentor) recommended I start with a Nikon D7200 along with 2 lenses (a Nikkor 200-500mm and a Tamron 16-300mm) with a few other little things. Sadly, about a month or so after getting the stuff in August my camera bag got stolen, but luckily I had the camera body and Tamron lens with me! After that I've protected my gear better than I would my own child...
So far I have 3 lenses in total. A Nikkor 40mm, a Nikkor 20mm, and a Tamron 16-300mm.

I mostly take pictures of whatever I find interesting around me, but I'm sure I'll find more specific things to focus on if I ever decide to do this more professionally!

I'll attach a few photos I've taken to sort of give an idea of what I can do! Please feel free to give feedback!
