Learning About Photography One Step At A Time
This blog is about leaving the distractions at home and taking your camera out to photograph your surroundings. Try new angles, new techniques, challenge your knowledge and improve your photography.
I’m located in the Puget Sound Area, near Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Most of my walks are done in Washington State. Occasionally you’ll find me, camera in hand, photographing other locations.

About Me: My uncle gave me my first camera, a Kodak Brownie when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Ironically, he gave me that camera right around the time the technology for digital photography was invented, in the late 1960’s. I remember looking through down through the viewfinder to frame my pictures and begging my dad to get them printed. It was love at first sight! During high school I worked painting houses one summer to purchase my first SLR camera, a Canon FTB. The FTB had the ’new technology’ a built in light meter. Photography, like most technologies have changed over the last decades and I’ve fallen in love with photography all over again. To me, photographs are displayed at their best with light coming through them – and I think that viewing them on computer monitors and in digital frames makes the medium perfect.
I’m the author & photographer of Easy Auction Photography, my photography has been published online at Newsweek and through the traditional print media including the Seattle Times. You can find me photographing around the Puget Sound, while on bike rides and making a living selling photography equipment and supplies online at www.clovercityphoto.com
What Is PhotoWalking?
Wikipedia – describes it as “Photowalking is the act of walking with a camera for the main purpose of taking pictures of things you may find interesting.
While not exclusive to digital photography, in practice digital photography makes Photowalking more realistic as a hobby due to its experimental nature, the number of pictures typically taken in the process, and the possibility of post-processing afterward.”
