    Yeah pretty sure I did. Briefly. There were so many people there. The red first gen double cab? Was a while ago so not sure but I definitely remember you introducting yourself by your screenname.

    That's how I started. I printed up some of my photos, created a portfolio (always good to have one that people can touch as well as online ones), and then got some business cards and got most of my business by word of mouth until a business got a hold of my info and had me work for them (of which I have the rights to all the pictures as well). Never post unless you have the rights to the photos, even if it was yours to begin with. But showof what you have because everyone has different taste and no two photographers are alike. You could also take shots on your own and sell them that way rather than look for photo shoots. I don't usually take photos of people, mainly cars, car shows, conventions, and travels I have been on! Just some thoughts!

    Heres a few from my Travels. Not sure what order they are in but they are pretty self explanitory. One is me in Afghanistan. One in Dubai with the Berj Khalifa the worlds tallest building there, one is stone henge, another is me dirt biking near the mexican border in Arizona and the other is the Grand Canyon.

    They are not professional pictures by any means but just some pics ive snapped along the way of traveling for my job.

    I don't mind critique. I never took any classes, I mostly just shoot it as I see it.
    This time I didn't.

    Most of the shots inside the canyon were taken from a moving vehicle.

    Oh dear, now I have to share. These are from a Yosmemite backpacking trip with my wife a couple years ago.

    From the top of Cloud's Rest (behind and above Half Dome) at sunset, looking east. We ate dinner here.

    I think I'm just traumatized by that clause in my contract (which I believe is in contracts for almost every job) about intellectual property and ideas stemming from current employment. People get sued all the time in this business for silly stuff like that. Probably a stupid fear... heheh

    I'm 3k miles away from my desktop and all my photos at the moment, so I'll look through some stuff when I get home. Loving what I see here, though!:D
