It’s all about the moment isn’t it? The search for that perfect picture that will make your effort worth while. Well, everybody is striving for something, and for me that would be the search of that excellence behind the lens.

Photo Gear – Canon 20D  geared with Canon 50 mm/f1.4 and Canon 18-55 lenses and Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash.
