Welcome to Urban Photos website . This is my new photo blog. It will feature both photographs and my writings about my photography experiences. I hope you enjoy my posts as much as I enjoy taking photos. This WordPress website will also serve to help me home my WordPress skills. Although WordPress is simple is it also features some very complex, non-intuitive themes.
The type of photos you are likely to see on this photo-blog are that of the streets on which I walk, the animals I interact with my radio hobby, and the people in my life.
I will eventually allow people to comment on my photos. And although I have been taking photos at all my previous places of employment since 1999, I am still quite the amateur. It wasn’t until I puchased my Canon SL1 (100D) that I finally left automatic mode and now shoot exclusively in manual mode. May 5, 2014 is my real photography birthday, the day I purchased my SL1. Taking automatic photos since 1999 did teach me to be comfortable around the camera and the act of shooting people, places and things. In photography, no experience goes to waste.
Feel free to comment on my photos. I know they are basically documentary in nature, which is what I like to do, take photos of things as they are…happening. Many are practice shots and some are photos which for some reason or another I like a lot. That I feel are something a photographer would take. Some day I may feel comfortable calling myself a photographer, but until that day arrives it’s practice..practice..practice. JBR
