I love making images. As a child I could not express myself through art the way I wanted and a smart teacher told me to try photography so I could manipulate in the darkroom. Bam, that was all it took I actually began in a graphic arts class, moved to photography class, all the while taking art history class. I also took local college classes in photography while still in High School. After graduation I moved to Dayton Ohio and attended Ohio Institute of Photography. Two years later moved to California and worked for Sports and Schools photography. Now many moons later I manage a wholesale business and am just recently getting back into shooting for profit and not just fun. I have a small portrait/various photo business. We like to shoot and paint the photos to make them very unique for the clients. I consider myself an image maker and will use whatever tools I need to accomplish my goals but everything begins with a photograph. I am married to a wonderful woman for over 17 years now, 4 kids aged 13, 10, 8 and 8, two dogs (a Beagle and a Boxer/Pit mix, 3 cats and one fish. We spend a lot of time outdoors during the summer since the sun only sets for 4 hours a night we do love it. We hunt, fish, camp, canoe, hike etc. etc.
My Photography Equipment:
Nikon D90, D60 and Canon cameras, Photoshop , Lightroom and Corel X with a Wacom tablet for retouching and creating my images.
Hey Gene! How are you? Well I still havent tried cs4 lol I don't know, first I couldn't wait to get it and now I don't work with it... Thanks for the link! Guess I can learn a lot there :))

Hi Gene! You are right, internet is really such a great thing :)) I met already so many nice ppl online, who I don't wanna miss! Well right now, I don't ve much time for taking pics. I try to concentrate on my study and we've such bad weather that I don't wanna go outside haha But I have Photoshop now (cs 4) so I wanna learn how to use it. My problem only is, that I'vent had any kinds of photoshops before, so I don't even know basic stuff... thats kinda frustrating, cuz Photoshop seems to be very complicated... Anyway, may be I can find some helpful websites :))
Thanks for the comments. This is the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery (Man Fat Sze), there are so many statues, I can not remember against which wall this one was taken or what is the meaning of the sign. Well worth the climb of 431 steps…
If you use roll paper, you have to cut it, or the printer has to have a cutter. Left to my own devices, I would have picked up some packages of smaller paper at Costco and put a stack into the printer's hopper. Tell the software the…
