Hello and welcome to my site; my name is Gregory. I invite you to journey with me as I navigate the lessons learned through the lens, one image at a time.
Years ago I dabbled in photography as a sidekick to someone else who was just learning photography themselves. Over the years I have pondered diving back into the world of photography and re-learning skills, techniques and art long forgotten. It wasn’t until a recent trip to Iceland where I spent two weeks shooting gorgeous scenery through the lens of a smartphone camera that I thought my time had come. Now, as far as smartphone cameras go, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is no slouch. However, upon returning home with a bit more cash in my pocket than I had expected and some photographs that left a bit to be desired, I decided to purchase a “real” camera. After talking to some photographer friends and doing some of my own research I decided to purchase a Sony Alpha a6300 Mirrorless camera.
And, here we are. I’ve been building my camera kit a little and doing lots of “YouTube learning”. I even purchased a very nice digital photography class from online training hub, Udemy. To reinforce my learning and to encourage the cementing of those lessons I decided to challenge myself by capturing and creating an image a day for the entirety of 2019. I figure, there is no better way to learn new skills, learn about my camera and discover my own style than to immerse myself in a daily photography challenge.
It was that or make some silly unattainable health goal; and I just don’t do ‘New Years Resolutions’.
