First Entry

Welcome to the first entry of my Blog. While some people might start a blog because they think they have something interesting to say that others will want to hear about, that is not the case here. While I intend too make entries to this blog on a regular basis the main focus will be photography. I have chosen this technique because as you will soon learn I am not great at writing, grammar or spelling.

I have been interested in photography since I had to take an elective my freshman year of high school. That however is a story for another time.

I have to thank my friend and coworker Dave for my first exposure to the blogging world. His blog - Father of Five - is meant for his kids, but I got hooked while reading about a deck building project he was doing on his house. Another friend and coworker, Bill also got hooked and we started pestering Dave for more frequent updates and pictures. Well it did not take long before Dave started pestering Bill and I to start our own blogs. Bill beat me to the punch - by a few months - with his blog King of Clubs. I was now being pestered (I mean that in the nicest way possible, by the way) by both Dave and Bill to start my blog. After thinking about what to call the blog - you'll notice both of their blogs have cool names with stories behind them - for a couple months I finally settled on the ever exciting name we see today. While there is no story to accompany the name I hope that anybody who finds the time to read my blog enjoys looking at the pictures that will soon be here. I spend a good chunk of my non-working time either taking pictures or trying to better those that I have taken in some way. I also spend plenty of working time reading about photography and looking at how others take pictures. I plan on sharing what the results of what I learn with you.
