Its amazing how fast things like this get out of date, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that has ever read this so I guess no harm no foul. But my first interaction with a camera was with the old school flashes on my Mom's camera. They were the single use kind and I remember putting them on the camera just to make them go off.

Anyways, I first got my own camera sometime in high school and it was one of those APS cameras. Then I traded someone along the way for their Canon Elph (whoever would have thought that I owned Canon before Nikon). While living in Spain, I purchased my first SLR: Nikon F80 (in the USA they were called the N80). It was a great deal since the dollar was doing great against the peseta.

Being a technological kind of guy, I couldn't resist the switch to digital and quickly sold my F80 (for what I paid for it) for a Nikon D70 when they were only a few months old. I had been in a car accident four months before and when it settled, I decided I needed a reward. For me photography really took off with the transition to digital since it was much cheaper and easier to learn.

To the left you can see a picture of me with my beautiful wife (this was our engagement photo by Spencer Kellis). Its a little out of date since we have since added our beautiful daughter who is all over the website.
