This right here is the reason I started everything (no not the funny looking guy... that's me). Its a Canon EOS 60D and from what I hear, its pretty awesome. Hopefully this camera and I are going to go places, do things, and have awesome adventures memorialized in still-frame glory. That glory will then be posted here, because I want to document my skills... assuming I have any.
The story is that I needed a camera for my video production class (wickedly enough, the 60D does that too) and I wanted something I would use again and again. I've always wanted a big fancy camera and the accompanying skills to use it. So I decided that I would take the risk and plunge some money and time into this ridiculously fancy piece of goodness I'm holding in my hands right now.
If anybody reading this feels so inclined, I would love to shoot photos of you! I don't charge anything, but I also can't promise you anything you'd be willing to show your grandma. And I don't know the lady, but I'm guessing she's probably not too picky. So if you're interested, please leave me a comment, shoot me an email at craigbeg@gmail.com, or flag me down on the street. you know what I look like, I'm the one smiling awkwardly at you from the top of your screen.
I also snapped a shot of my dad a while back that turned out surprisingly well considering he's sitting at a Walmart card table in my apartment playing "hand and foot."
This week I decided I needed to get out and get a little more familiar with my camera regardless of my subject. So I went out with the intent to shoot the clouds and instead ended up running back and forth taking self-portraits using the timer.
If you disregard all the butt-shots, shots with only my legs or shoes, and scenes where I'm half in view (or less), I think I'm getting better with capturing stuff. I guess now it's time to start taking requests.
