Nothing but your common amateur shutter-bug, who happens to fly airplanes and like hockey. :)

A few things I believe about photography :

1) It's art. it's not science, method, technique, or process...it's art. Sure, all of those other things may physically create the art, but they don't define it.

2) Because it's art, a photograph is defined not by how it was exposed, or its color saturation, or its crispness, or its focus...it is defined by nothing more than how it makes you feel.

3) I shoot because I can. I share because I want to.

4) If you'd like a photograph cropped a different way, or exposed differently, or taken with a different lens...in short, if you'd like one of my photographs to be different...then please, keep that to yourself. If I want your opinion on how to improve my photography, I'll ask for it. I don't take pictures because I'm interested in how other people think they SHOULD look.

5) If you'd like to tell me how a photograph makes you feel, or the questions a photograph makes you ask about life, yourself, the world, or things in general, or a story that a photograph reminds you of, then please, by all means, do so. For that matter, if you'd like to tll me "I hate that photograph", then go for it. :) I might even ask you why. ;)

6) Photographs should tell what was, and suggest what might be. Anything else is fake.
