From the Archives: #001

I was going through some photos I took over a year ago, and found myself looking at the RAW files with fresh eyes. I reprocessed the photo with my current toolset and it made me happy inside, so since it was older work (pre-blog), I decided maybe you all, my faithful blog-stalkers, might like to see my old junk…Please keep in mind, these were shot with my old Nikon D70.

I will add to this intermittently, but only if you all want me to. Let me know if you would like to see more of my old work. If anything, we can share in the humiliation and I can show you how far I am hopefully coming.

    WOW check out her eyes! Just awesome! Don’t knock the D70, I have one as my backup and they rock :)

  2. Dennis

    The movement in her hair is cool.

    Dude…that is an INSANELY good shot! Let’s see more from those archives. I love going back and finally some gems that I’d initially dismissed. :)

    TAG! You’re IT!

    Something most people don’t know about me … I work as a computer technology consultant and love photography, but my college degree is in Bible (Religious Studies) and almost have a minor in counseling.

  2. Jamie

    Looks like a blog is a must now. 8 interesting things about me? That may be more difficult then it sounds.

    I didn’t know you were homeschooled…So was I! Explains a lot huh?!? lol

    Thanks for sharing!!

  3. KellyT

    You do realize you are in big time trouble for this, don’t you? :-D

    Quick fact about me: I’ve had two nose jobs, but they weren’t for cosmetic reasons. I broke my nose playing basketball in high school. Which is why I now abstain from all sports. :-D

  4. Jan

    College at 15!! holy moly. I played…so now, I’m trying to get Tey to post.

  5. bobbi

    WOW! we have LOTS in common… I too am self taught in both graphic design and photography. :)

    Thanks for playing!

    ~b+

  6. Katie

    Very interesting facts! I don’t think I could come up with 8.

    One little known fact that many of my new friends might not know is that I used to have my belly button & tongue pierced.

  7. Brian - Genxtek

    Cool facts… we have a few things in common. I started college young too.

    Little known fact about me… Although I’m a computer guy I actually have a degree in Theoretical Physics along with certificates/diplomas in graphic design and photography.

  8. Lisa Fitts

    thanks for tagging me! :)

    sincerely,

    your blog stalker -lisa

  9. Nicole Renee

    I taught myself photography and I actually used to be a court reporter and type 225 words a minute!!
