I like shooting nature, travel, macro, landscapes, and evening/night photography, but not too many people shots. I can do wedding and people and sports,but don't care much about that other than candids.
I would like to make money someday with my camera. I think that it may be architectural photography with my nephew who is already well established in that business.
3 images published this week, all 3 front pages, top and center, 5 X 7's in 2 local news papers. Published in the "Globe" in 1974, photos of a covered wagon 20 ft long, made completely from bread. (for real) Nothing like Nat'l Geo yet.
I love shooting in the open country, away from city crowds, around open water and sea shore.
I consider myself a "hick clicker" or maybe a "clickaholic" of some sort.
