It’s not the gear that makes you a photographer, it’s the one behind the camera.

Thank you for visiting my “more professional” website for my photos

Just in case someone may think that it’s just one photo per day

These are not single photos, these are a collection of photos taken on that particular day ( example being the cruise photos has more once you click the photo with the name cruise on it )

Photography Quotes

It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

— David Bailey

Photography is not about cameras, gadgets and gizmos. Photography is about photographers. A camera didn’t make a great picture any more than a typewriter wrote a great novel.

— Peter Adams

There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.

— Ansel Adams
