A 2020 C8 next to a 1978 C3. Similar and different in many ways, both both use large American Naturally aspirated V8s. The C8 has an incredible presence, it's low and wide, with the proportions and aura of a super car. Pictures simply don't do it jus

A portrait of myself, taken in Shelton, WA by Joe Doll.

how I started:

Starting out in photography can begin in a lot of different ways these days, phone, DSLR, mirrorless. I took the road less traveled, the odd challenge that is 35mm film. My first camera was a Nikon EM 35mm picked up at a garage sale for 25 bucks with the standard 28mm F/2.8 lens. Since my first shutter release in 6th grade, I've learned an immense amount. I've taken two film photography, two videography, and three digital photography classes, spent countless hours reading, watching videos learning how to shoot and edit. On top of photography, I've tried to learn as much as I can about electronics,  and computers especially. From Hawaii to Washington DC, from Canada to Mexico, I've tried to learn as much as I can from any outlet, but in my opinion, simply going out and practicing is the best way to advance your skills, photography is no different.
