So I’m gonna say it right now, I am not a photographer. Note serious photography gear vs. my new, somewhat zoomy point and shoot. I am a snap shooter not a sharp shooter. My photos are taken on the fly, no set up, just snap and go. Mostly they’re more movies than stills, but good enough to paint from and always they’re helpful for remembering a busy day. Occasionally, just by sheer volume of shots taken, I come up with a really nice image. It's a good thing I paint :)
