By now I have maybe 300 professional-quality digital photos in my collection, but that number pales in comparison to the over 14,000 that I have taken over the past 5 years and that difference in magnitude just goes to show that amazing photos do not come easily and they in fact take quite a bit of setup, experimentation and yes, luck. Having taken that many digital photos, I have learned a thing or two and my photos have gotten progressively better as I have learned more techniques and have developed an eye for proper composition. Many people have graciously complimented me on my photos (I try not to bore people by posting the meagerly average or below pics), but with a little insight anyone can significantly improve their photos.

The following are key lessons to follow for any budding digital photographer.

For years now people have been asking me questions about where to go, or on how to find cheap tickets, or how to get around and I have always been more than happy to give some insight. It occurred to me that in addition to having a single repository for all my travel logs and photos, I could also put together several helpful hints and tips for the most common of these questions and this was another motivator for me to put together this site.

I had been meaning to get a web site together for the past 3 or 4 years now, but my lack of familiarity with HTML, and the various back end tools kept me from making much progress beyond the content organization I did on my home computer that only I had access to.
