When I decided to take my photography to another level, I put myself out there and created a blog. My original plan was to document my progress as a budding photographer and share my workflow with others. The deeper I got into the blogosphere, the more I realized how much I enjoy using new or new-to-me gear and talking about my experience. Whether good or bad, I found sharing my thoughts and helping others make informed decisions truly rewarding. Below is a compilation of all the reviews and photography tips & tricks I have written throughout the years. If you have any questions or concerns about anything I have written, feel free to contact me
