I’ve been a photographer all my life. Rumor has it, I snapped off a few photos with an old Canon AE-1 film camera when I was 2 years old. However, nobody told me to remove the lens cap. :)

Growing up, I was always fascinated with cameras…my mother would say obsessed.

While other kids asked Santa for Red Ryder BB guns and Barbies, I was wishing for more 110 cartridge film to feed my Kodak Ektralite 10 camera.

Some of the most memorable images I ever took were shot with “imaginary” film. Needless to say, I wore out the flash mechanism and shutter button in record time.

Early on I inherited the role as resident technical expert for my family. Anytime my parents had questions about aperture, shutter speed and other camera settings…they relied on the advice of a 7 year old. :)

Over the years I got pretty good at assisting family and friends with their photography questions.

This passion for helping those close to me, led to the creation of CameraTips.com where I help people from all across this beautiful planet with tips and advice on digital cameras and photography.

Thanks for visiting!
