Talk about your inspirations and influences.
My inspiration is typically whatever catches my eye. Living in Calgary that has an amazing skyline and natural beauty just beyond the city limits, it's easy to find inspiration in any direction. My influence from childhood was my Father, who was always taking photos and allowing me to use his Nikon gear on a regular basis.
Getting me hooked at an early age. Plus my loyal dog Morley is always an inspiration...
I'd always have a camera in my hand at family functions and it just kind of stuck.
Where have you not been that you want to photograph?
As a skyscraper enthusiast, I really want to photograph New York City and Chicago.
Talk about your most popular (in your opinion) photothreads.
My most popular photo thread would probably be the
Calgary Skyline & Panorama thread.
It's a thread for everyone to contribute and has hundreds of amazing Calgary Skyline Panoramas.
Talk about your photothreads that didn't get the response you wanted.
I typically don't start photo threads, I usually just contribute to existing ones.
Any tips or personal wisdom you'd like to pass on to others?
Never be afraid to try new techniques with photography. Practice makes perfect. Learn the basics, composition, lighting, framing, etc...
Spending thousands of dollars on gear won't make you a better photographer, build your collection of glass slowly and understand your camera inside and out.
On your next photoshoot, only bring one prime lens and see what can be accomplished by using your legs as your zoom.
Who should we ask these questions of next?
