I have lived in Wisconsin for 21 years. I was born and raised in Chicago, ILLinois. My hobby has always been photography, especially the outdoors and animals. It is very rarely that I do not have a camera with me. I have never had formal photography lessons.......everything I know I learned from others or self taught myself through trail and error. I have photographed a few weddings and family portraits for friends and acquaintances. I still do own and occasionally use a 35mm film camera along with my 35mm digital camera. more
