So you say you want to be a Photographer

You have a camera and so now what. Sure you can shoot the kids and stuff around the house and then take it on vacation. But what else is there in the world?
I consider myself a "Street Photographer". I love shooting people on the street doing what they do. Going, being, waiting, walking, running, shopping, eating, driving, just being their self.
I would not have gotten this image above, except that I always have a camera with me ready to shoot. You just never know when life is going to present you with something worth while to record. So, what can you do with this stuff? Share it. The one I like to use is Flickr. (See the link to the right.
Flickr has given me a place to share my work and see what works and get feed back from others. I have over 3800 images up and they have been viewed over 165,000 times. With out the internet how could the average person share their work with so many people?
One of the cool things on Flickr is that people can select an image as a favorite and then you can go to that persons site and see what else they have chosen and then go see that persons work. You can make all of those people a contact and they will be linked up to you. I guess that makes a community. I could go on but I invite you to take pictures and share them.
