How's yinz doin'? Yes I'm a yinzer from SW PA about 40 minutes outside of Pittsburgh. I've been interested in photography ever since I got my first 110 film camera for Christmas when I was 7 years old. While I've shot with Canons I've been primarily a Nikon shooter over the years from my first D60 then to the D90 then to the D3 and D3s and now D5 and D500. I've done weddings, senior portraits, sports(all levels from youth to semi-pro/pro), landscapes, cityscapes, and wildlife. I've learned a lot from my uncle before he passed and from others around me and online and I do my best to pass that knowledge along. Photography isn't my primary job it's mainly just a hobby for me. I am a lead driver for a small family-owned school bus company so I do a lot of our high school sports charters and field trips and when I'm not driving I'm in the office working on various tasks. What I love though about the sports charters is I take my cameras along with me and I do photos while there. You should see the look on these peoples' faces when they ask me what newspaper or media outlet I'm with and I tell them none I'm the bus driver for the visiting team. It's priceless and the Athletic Directors for the various schools love that I share all the photos with them to use however they want. It's a win-win for everyone involved. It's also led to me getting phone calls/emails from them wanting me to come do paid-work for them taking portraits of the athletes and other kinds of work all because I shared photos with them in the past.
