I have always liked taking landscape and nature photos. There is something very satisfying about capturing an image that represents a beautiful scene or memory. I once heard a photographer say that there are two reasons to take a photograph: to remember something you have seen or to show other people what you have seen. I have come to the point where, in addition to making a memory, I want to make art - something that I would be proud to hang on the wall.
Now, in addition to photographing landscapes, I like to make portraits. I don't use a studio with seamless backgrounds for my portraits. Instead I find an interresting landscape that would make a good photo by itself and then put the people in it. Sometimes it's the beach with a beautiful sunset, sometimes it's someone's yard, or maybe some flowers.
