A Caribbean wedding is a beautiful thing and capturing that moment with my Canon EOS7D was a wonderful experience. I am looking forward to this year's wedding season as I create more multi-media content for my clients.

Time to get Blogging
I've been a writer for as long as I can remember and I'm counting that A+ short story from when I was 11 years old.
I now work for a newspaper in Barbados, but as an additional skill to make my journalism workflow more efficient I picked up a camera in 2005 and began snapping away with little thought for anything technical, or anything artistic. It was a means to an end, but after a week of snapping I realized there was potential for so much more. So I started to read (writers love to read) and then I asked a good friend to take me through the basics of ISO, Aperture, Shutterspeed and good camera technique. Before long my little Kodak was producing decent images for newspaper publication and my office decided it was time to provide me access to a Canon EOS 20D and some L series glass... Then the gave me a 580EX and I started to read the Strobist blog and that's all she wrote.
Today, I still shoot Canon, own a ton of light stands and mods, big flashes (Elinchrom), flash guns, continuous lights and even a Glidetrack for grabbing panning video shots and I can firmly say that after 2 University degrees in history, Photography and image creation is where my heart beats the hardest.
If I knew then what I know now... Hindsight is 20/20 of course and a good lens keeps everything in focus, so onward to the bright future of photography.
