About Ryan

Photography has been in my life for more than 25 years.  I enjoy it (although I’ve experienced my fair share of creative droughts), and I am constantly learning.  Sure, I have a pretty good handle on the elements of photography, but with the passing of time comes changes in technology and creative technique.  There is always something new to learn and experiment with.

The purpose of my blog is twofold:

1. Share some of my photography experiences with you, and maybe even motivate you to get out and take some new photographs and learn more about photography, if that appeals to you, and
2. Share some of the things I’ve learned over the years regarding photographic technique and provide you with an opportunity to learn something new, or perhaps provide a nice review of something you’ve forgotten.

I don’t have any illusions of competing with some of the “big names” in the photography business.  I’ve sold my fair share of prints (given away a lot more), and I’ve won some contests here and there.  I’ve had a measure of success that is enough to say I’m confident in my abilities and I’ve proved myself to others that I know what I’m talking about.

There is a ton of information on the web about photography, and I encourage you to read as much as you can.  In fact, you don’t have to read anything I have to say.  My goal is to write things my way, in my “voice” and relay my thoughts in a personable manner.

I think you’ll get some good information from my blog, and hopefully some inspiration as well.
