Welcome to the world of photography, seen through my camera lens. I have constructed this Blog site as a means to develop, enhance, and practice my photography skill-sets.
Inspiration for this Blog came to me when I finished reading ‘Digital Photography Composition For Dummies. The last chapter presents 10 photographic projects to inspire and encourage photographers to take more pictures and acquire hands-on experience.
Once I read this book, I immediately wanted to work on these projects, but I also wanted this experience to be more involved. I wanted to remember things I did, pictures I took, what worked and what didn’t work, etc. But most of all, I wanted to see how I was doing and the best way to do this is to have people constructively critique your work.
Therefore, for the next 10 months I will post responses, comments, opinions, thoughts and even pictures related to the monthly project. This way you can follow along and read and see first hand how I am managing these photography projects. By following along you can watch me struggle with or concur a project.

In addition to these 10 projects, I will be posting other forms of my photography work, including interesting quotes, thoughts, links, and mini side-bar photography projects (e.g. photography all nearby waterfalls). Please visit http://citizenphotographer.blogspot.com/ to view these photos and thoughts.
Please feel free to post your comments and suggestions. Lets us learn and experience photography together.
