The fun in photography isn’t always in the capture of the image, but when you can manipulate them to look far more impressive.

Strobist Spotlight - Dustin Diaz
A hobby, a craft, a talent, a skill, or a profession are all fun to explore and grow with experience. Sometimes for many people, photography fits that bill. You can start young or old, you can use it for art, for scrapbooking or turn it into a lucrative profession. Many put a little effort into ...

Multnomah and Wahkeena Falls, Oregon
