I have been taking pictures since I was 8 and developing them myself since I was about 13. Until the last few years, most of my photography has been sports and action photography with a little abstract 'art' thrown in. Recently, I've been trying to improve my portrait skills and frequently use my kids as well as my friends' as subjects. I've also spent the majority of my life either training, competing, teaching, or photographing gymnastics -- so, you'll see lots of gymnastics pics, too
