What's it all about Alfie?

Well, actually, it's David.

I've started this blog as a means of sharing some of my experiences as a photographer. It's intended as a reference point, working on the theory that if I write things down as I learn, I might remember them. That's the plan anyway. If others can benefit from my learning curves, then it's a bonus.

I think honesty is important. We've all been to friend's weddings, or popular locations, and run into a photographer who mocks us with our inexperience and cheap equipment (it's all relative, after all). I don't want to be that guy. The only way I've developed my skills is by talking to other photographers (because most of the greats are a friendly bunch), and doing my homework. I don't mind sharing that knowledge with others, as it always seems to open doors. So feel free to look around, laugh at my mistakes, and take what you can from them.
