About Me

East Peak Weirdos

I purchased my first DSLR back in January 2008 and I have since become completely enamored with photography. I enjoy the gear, the processing, the photos, and especially the actual traveling.

I am looking into different options to have my eyes upgraded to robot eyes, and sometime in the near future I am possibly going to get metal legs for traveling. I am pretty much interested in all types of photography, although, I seem to leave my wide angle on 95% of the time and shoot mostly landscapes and architecture. I like to make excuses such as “There are not enough kittens or babies around the house to shoot anything else”, but I still need to branch out. I am thinking a killer German Shepherd in the future will help out with that.

I can spend hours going through photos on Flickr and use what I find to hone my technique, get creative ideas, and learn the technical details that seem to work best in certain situations.

    Very nice camera work! I’ve always taken pictures with cheap cameras and just became interested in stepping up to a high-end setup. Thanks for listing your equipment. I’ll definitely include it in my research – not to mention the D300 you also mentioned.

    Keep up the great work!

    Regards,

    You’ve got some pretty outstanding photos here. I’ve been looking through them, and couldn’t help but be impressed so much I felt compelled to compliment you on some grand work.
    I only recently purchased a Nikon D60, my first DSLR, and I’m slowly learning this and that, but I’ve already impressed myself with a few things I can do. Looking at your photos here though, even the ones you took with the D40, I can see I have a LONG way to go in learning my style and technique.

    Thank you very much! It has been really fun to learn about photography through trial and error since I first purchased that D40. The picture quality of the D40 is every bit as good as my D80, just a little easier to get it to do what you want. I am sure the D60 wouldn’t disappoint either.

    Let me know if you ever post your photos on flickr or to a blog and I will surely check them out.

    You need to write home more often, stop taking pictures and write your mother.
    Candice has a bumper sticker on her car it reads: “Love Your Mother”.
    (catchy don’t you think?)

    Love you flickr man~
