There’s something so thrilling about catching an image that makes my soul gasp! I’m fairly new to photography and am constantly working to learn how to capture a fragment of the beauty around me so I can share it with others. It’s an awe-inspiring feeling. Every time I take my camera out I feel the thrill of the treasure hunt. Maybe this time I’ll find a breath-catcher! <br> <br> I live in the paradise of the Pacific NW near Portland, Oregon. There's no end of beauty within hours of my home. <br> <br> Mid-2006 is when I was bit by the photog bug, and I have lived, eaten and breathed it ever since ;-) Because I'm still a beginner, I REALLY appreciate constructive criticism and/or suggestions on my photos. Please don't feel shy about giving them to me -- just be kind about it, of course! <br> <br> If you're interested in buying any prints please <a href="mailto:smithsteno@gmail.com">Email me</a>. <br> <br> Thanks!
