Welcome!
First and foremost, thank you for visiting my humble website. This site is dedicated to my love of photography and a growing desire to do more video. I’ve been taking photos for over 40 years. I started when I was about 8 years old. I’m not a professional, merely a hobbyist. I’ve never had a particular subject interest, just a love of taking photos and developing/editing them. I take photos of whatever spurs my fancy. You can see more about my photography on “PhotoTime.”
My kit has changed over the years, but one camera isn’t much different than another. I did move into digital early, around 2000, but started with film back in the 70’s. I remember playing with my grandfather’s 35mm SLR. Eventually I had my own SLR and I’ve been clicking away ever since. I did use cameras before that, but the phone didn’t really start until I had that Canon T80 and then eventually a Nikon N2000. Here are some of my earliest photos all shot on film either with the Canon or the Nikon.
“Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure.”
Today I shoot with a variety of cameras. If you are interested in what my kit currently consists, check out “What’s In My Bag.” If you want to keep up with all my current images, you can follow me on Instagram. My favorite camera has to be the iPhone, I upgrade most years just because of the camera. My favorite “real” camera is a Sony RX100m6; but I’m always on the lookout for a new love.
Of course this more to me than just photography. For peek into how I think you can check out “My View.” This is my original blog and goes back many years (many of the links and posts may be broken, my apologies. The internet is a cruel mistress.) - Kelly
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
Playlist of some quick videos I made of my recent Caribbean vacation aboard Carnival’s Mardis Gras over the 2022 Thanksgiving holiday. Enjoy!! (The videos were all shot entirely using a DJI Osmo Action 3 and edited using an iOS App called LightCut. A crazy powerful but simple pairing!)
