Formally Introducing Myself

Hello,

My name is Chris.  I love my family, and I’m a people person.  I don't consider myself a professional photographer at this point.  I am however an aspiring photographer, that hopes to capture your attention with things that interest me in the field of photography.  I've only just begun my journey as a photographer.  I constantly look for things to photograph.  I enjoy teaching others the things I know.  And, I plan on sharing my thoughts, experiences, skills, and photographs with you. 

I grew up around photography and acquired most of my knowledge from my father, who was a photographer in the U.S. Air Force.  I love photographing the world around me, as do most people who want family keepsakes and photographic memories. I want to take it a step further and share with the world how I perceive what's taking place around me.

You can't tell me we're not making history today, yesterday, or last week.  With the war, the economy, the presidency, even the environment, we all should be making every effort to preserve the images of what's going on around us.  Just think about when you were a child, sitting on your grandparents lap, and being told a story of how things were when they were your age.  Photographs validate stories like those, and I hope to encourage young people of the importance of photography.  It's like the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words.".

I look forward to sharing with you all things photographic.  Please be sure to take a look at my web site, and don’t forget follow me on the social networking sites (flickr, twitter, photobucket, & facebook).
