Let's get this started

I'd like to start this out by sharing a little about me and my artwork. I'm a father of a very busy little 9-year-old girl, so I don't have as much quiet time to pursue my artwork as I would like. When I was younger, I was an avid painter. I used oils, acrylics, and watercolors, the latter being my favorite. Due to the often messy and time consuming nature of those media, I turned to photography. I found that by carrying a digital camera in my pocket at all times, I was able to start capturing the compositions I saw in my life every day. It's been an amazing journey since I began in the latter half of 2006, and I haven't looked back since. I have my first show this weekend where I hope to sell a few prints and start building a list of people interested in my work. I have a gallery on Artist Rising, a site for artists to host and sell their work. You can find my gallery by following this link. I also will keep a link parked on the bottom of this blog. Time for my shameless plug... if you need artwork for something, please support amateur artists and take a look on the Artist Rising site. You will find all sorts of things you might like. Thanks for stopping by!
