Dagot'ee! - that's Hello in Apache!
At the behest of a very good friend (hi Chris!) I've invested in getting my website and this blog started. My goal is, obviously, to show my work but to also give other photographers tips, tricks and step-by-step guide as others have given to me. However, my main objective with this blog will be to do as much of this on a budget as possible. A serious budget. No, for real.
When I started actively pursuing photography 7 years ago I had very little money (still do, actually) but I was on a serious budget back then called unemployment. I had very little to work with but I saved whenever I could to purchase a camera that would allow more manual settings than a point + shoot. I spent months searching Craigslist and finally found a Canon G11 that was well within my budget (it did have one broken dial, but hey - I said I was on a budget)! It wasn't the camera I always wanted (still don't have that) but it was a great place to start. That little powerhouse of a camera helped me grow in leaps and bounds! And because it was so small compared to a DSLR it taught me a very valuable lesson - always have your camera on you! How can you experiment and learn if you don't have your tools on you?
So with that in mind, I hope that you find something here that will help or inspire you to do great things with very little.
