I am a student and an amateur photographer from Wisconsin. Beside photography I am interested in philology, writing, filmmaking, acting, basketball, and playing music, but my interests vary widely. I have dabbed in the areas of cryptography, poetry, visual arts, sound and lighting, many different sports and musical instruments, and numerous others. I try to specialize in photographs of scenery and nature, and I find the locations around my home in rural Wisconsin to be quite inspiring. I have used a cheap digital camera for all my photos you see now, but I intend to purchase a high quality digital camera in the near future. But, as you can see from my photographs, my Fujifilm FinePix A500 does the job quite well, however, despite it's age and bought price it is a good all-around tool to have on hand. If you wish to see some of my favorite photographs taken by other people, you can visit my blog and look under posts for April of 2009. I do appreciate other forms of art, including fine art and abstract art. I wish to eventually take up painting, being inspired to do so by artists like Thomas Kinkade, Lee Parkinson, Terry Redlin, John Douglas, Don Li-Leger, Leo Burns, Gregory Williams, Van Martin, Volk, and a seemingly infinite number of others, some of which are well-known, some may be not as well-known. Nevertheless, my taste in art is fine-tuned, but not picky. I am especially captivated my any photographs or paintings that may use bold colors and any art that depicts both the everyday and the unique from angles not usually seen.
