My Photo Journey

I am a Wannabe.  I wannabe as good a photographer as the professionals.  This blog is to help me write down things i figure out in photographing scenes in Colorado.  I live in Colorado and there are a lot of things to photograph here.  So this is my attempt to share what, where, when, and at times how.  I put my favorite photos on my web site (http://www.perryralph.com/)

A little bit of background.  I live in Fort Collins, CO.  i started taking pictures in high school and actually had one of my photos on the front page of the local newspaper.  But life happened and i moved away from it for years.  I dabbled during this time but my photography didn't improve.  I wanted to get serious in 2005 when i decided i was going to take a picture every day for the entire year (POD).  (http://psralph.home.comcast.net/~psralph/).  Hopefully, you can notice an improvement over the past 5 years. 

My background suggests that to improve i should focus on doing a few things well.  I take a lot of photos in colorado and i have a lot to photograph in colorado.  We have beautiful landscapes, stunning wildflowers, and amazing wildlife here.  This is what i like to photograph and will be sharing here.
