Indian Springs Shoot

I went to Indian Springs today to scout out some areas for future shoots.  While looking around I asked my help to pose for a few quick shots and here's the results.  Hopefully soon I'll laid some paid shoots.

My First Model Shoot

On March 5, 2007 I had my first model shoot. I've learned a lot since then but everyone loved this shot.

My Intro

Ok it's 2011 and blogs have been around for ages but this is my first time.   Yes I've decided to see what all the rave is about plus maybe gain a few followers of my work. 

If you don't know me I'm a 34 year old C5/6 quadriplegic.  What's that you ask?  That means I'm paralyzed from my chest down.  In 1999 I was in an auto accident that broke my neck at the C1,3,4,5,6 and 7th vertabrae.  Luckly it skipped the C2, if not I most likely wouldn't be here today.

So what's my blog going to be about?  Photography.  Growing up my parents always took pictures when we'd go somewhere.  My dad gave me an old film carmera around 1990 but back then my interest were elsewhere.  In 2005 though I became interested in photography.  At the time I had a Kodak point & shoot camera that I took everywhere with me.  A year later I knew that p&s had its limits so I saved up for a used Canon Rebel XT.  I thought I was something...lol  After reading many forums and watching countless videos I began learning how things work.  I'm still doing that today but to better my skills.  I've advanced to better equipment since my Rebel and hopefully someday people will enjoy the memories I capture.
