Greetings and Salutations. My name is Mike and I am a novice amatuer from Arizona. I currently have a Canon Rebel XS and have attempted to learn something new. I am addicted to photography and I have issues I think lol...I've had my camera for a year or so and while I cant do what you guys do I sure make up for it in desire. I want to learn and someday be at least decent. I've seen some amazing photos here and I am ready for newbie abuse and ridicule...I think lol

Wow thank you Sinatraman I sure didn't expect that response :D Yes I have many more of the Ghost Town and ruins etc....I am a huge history buff. I bought a book on Ansel Adams a few years ago and well....My love for Black and Whites is evident lol...That is what I typically shoot and while my wife isn't the biggest fan of no color I am. I am self taught of course because no photographer I know cares to help me except for one guy in Minnesota named Larry Ricker I dunno he may be on here for all I know.
I understand the fact some people make a living at this and I certainly don't wish to take the food off the table for anyone....I just love taking pictures is all. I will post a couple more from Jerome gimme a few...

black and white is great for mood shots. pople urban enviornment, old cars, old buildings etc. I don''t know why but animals dont look good in b+w but people do. normaly I am not a fan of b+w landscapes as the color adds to the majesty but your shot of the rocks works. certain other subjects look better in color, air and car shows, portraits etc

I too would echo what has been written in regard to the black & whites - nice tonal range, great subjects.

Your pictures are very well done - and don't worry about "(taking) food off the table" for anyone - that's like trying to preserve farmland by not eating vegetables. (to get uncomfortably close to a mixed metaphor.. :)
