Trying my hand at photography…

I’ve got this artistic streak in me that I’ve been figuring out how to channel for a while. I’d love to play music—and I still might give it a try, but I never played an instrument as a child. It feels like it would be an uphill battle. I like to draw, but stink at that. I love graphic design, but I’m not very good at that either and feel like I’d need formal training to really get there. So, after watching the Strobist guys for a year learning so much and seeing how many of them have developed, I decided to give photography a whirl.

I bought myself a Nikon D80 from B&H Photo Video some time late last year. I’ve only recently started getting more into being creative with it though.

If you haven’t seen the Strobist site, and you’re interested in flash photography, you should really check it out. David Hobby also released one of his lighting seminars on DVD. It’s well worth the money. Some of it can be repetitive, but then, that’s what it takes to sink it into your skull sometimes.

With that, I’ll post a couple of my favorite pictures of late:
