Thanks.
As a hobby, about 20 + some years. Started with the old High School year book thing. Then in college, took some more photo classes, and then decided I wanted to be a photographer. Professional now about 9 years. I shoot for Big 5 Sporting Goods, Home Depot, and Lowe's. And also for their venders like Behr Paints, RSI cabinets, and Leslie Lock fences. Along with several catalogs, and basically anything that needs to be shot.
A couple of years ago, the product photography was getting to me. Shooting 50 pairs of shoes in one day sucked. So I branched off to portrait stuff. At least I can talk to what I'm shooting.
But my love is still taking the dog and getting "lost" in the jeep. There is a lot of neat stuff out there that you can't explain to people, but a picture will sum it up.
Trust me, if I go on the run with you guys, you will have lots of photos. If anyone doesn't want their photo posted, please let me know and I will take down your image, or not shot you on the trail.
On the next run, I would like to do a before shot with individual people / families with their rigs and give out free 8x10's with the name of the trail on it, or something like that. Help me brain storm on this idea.
