Welcome!!

Born on April 1st, 1980, and a native to Maryland's Eastern Shore, I enjoy all types of photography but specialize in Nature, Landscape, Cityscape, Architectural, & Common Photography.

I have enjoyed taking pictures since I was just a kid. I would often borrow my parents film & digital cameras and go hunting for various items to photograph such as buildings, animals or just about anything I could find, and would then display them on my wall for personal interests, or share them with friends and family on the internet or through photo albums.

During my 7th grade year (1992-1993), I joined the Photography Club, which was held in the media center at the North Dorchester Middle School in which I attended.

While in the club, my media center teacher signed me up for the Dorchester County Photography Fair - which was held at the Cambridge South Dorchester High School.

I had captured a photograph of an undercarriage of a monster truck. We then placed my photo of the undercarriage and a photo of my family dog in the fair, and won both 1st & 2nd place. After the county fair - I was enrolled into the Maryland State Photography Fair for Maryland Students; the photo of the monster truck won me 1st place.

After the county and state fairs, I had realized that I had found a hobby in which I enjoy to this day.

I prefer & use both 35mm film & digital cameras. My cameras of choice are Minolta Maxxum III SLR 35mm and Kodak P712 SLR Digital, along with a variety of lenses & other equipment.

Recently in 2008, I have begun to produce Photo Slide Shows/Videos of my Photography, Documentary's of Dorchester County Maryland, as well as other various topics, which may be viewed on http://www.youtube.com/jeepguy80
