New Here (about me)

[vince]

I for one am glad to have you here. You're our first, self-proclaimed, Delta Blues Film-Only Photographer. Or am I misrepresenting you?

I never really stated that, but you hit it! That's my direction. I'm really touched by the blues and southern culture. But I'm going to the Louisiana State Arboretum (only a few miles from my home) to do a few wildlife shots at sunrise. I really just try to capture what's around. I'm not as special as I may have lead. I'm just another young guy with a camera, probably where all you were 30 years ago.... So be patient.

But do see if you can't find a way to scan some photos so we can see your photos. More photos is better. And I'm really curious about your work.

As I feel intimidated honestly, I'm really no where near as good as yall would hope. I've seen a few pics on this forum that have truly inspired me! I don't use much artificial light or funky tricks, I really take great quality shots of whatever is around and that's all. I'm not as creative as most of you, I really just try to show the viewer whatever I'm seeing, hoping to share a little excitement. I'll try to get something posted in the next few days. I got a few fantastic graveyard pics that I'm proud of, you need to see the cemeteries around here, they are great! Any of yall ever want to go snapping with me, come on! I really like working beside another photographer. It would be really cool to make good friends with a local that is 100% digital. We could go out and snap a few and meet back up and compare our shots... I'm not competitive as far as pics, it's just all for fun! Though I do expect to make money from some of them, I'm at the stage of my life right now where I'm busy burning a lot of film.

So glad you didn't get scared away!

Actually you folks are much more kind to me than I thought. I really didn't think you would make room for me! A lot of people really have trouble accepting folks that are not a lot like them. I'm young, new and really have a set direction (so I think) and a lot of people don't like that. But you all seam open minded and patient.
