Yeh in between work and kids I get no time to get the camera out and practice so it will be a while before I get good
 
Great idea for a post, its good to see how people have progressed over the years and also a good reminder to yourself that no matter how frustrated you sometimes get you can always look back at old shots and tell yourself you are making progress even if it might not seem like you are.

None of my old 35mm stuff is in digital format yet, but when i started shooting withy a DSLR this is what i thought was Flickr worthy

Wow steve that Grand Canyon shot is wicked! I love it, That is a place I would love to go
 
Ive been wanting to go for years, we finally treated ourselves to a trip to vegas over christmas, i wanted to drive down to the south rim but time was against us so we settled for the west rim which is only a 2 hr drive from Vegas. It really is a stunning part of the world.
 
Kind of a big share... But I've been shooting since '09ish.

2009, got a Sony A200. Noobin' it up.

Left a few shoots out... 2 e-shoots, and 2 weddings. But I got my favorites in. Sorry for the excessive amount of photos.
 
I like the first 2 shots the best....you posted these most recent first right?... J/K...nice work, you have clearly come a long way in a short amount of time. :)

Thanks for the share, No problem , I love looking at peoples work, Its inspiration for me,
 
Great idea for this thread, I'll have to dig through some photo albums next time I'm at my parents' house. Somewhere they have the actual first photo I ever took, they got me a toy camera when I was about 5 or so and the first shot I took was of my ear... had the camera turned around backwards apparently lol.
 
My "first ever" photo is long gone, and I don't even have a clue what it would be. I flipped through a photo album and scanned 3 prints though... I tried to find old prints that I had a current similar photo to pair with.

Mid 1990's (Can't remember exactly when this was):
