I have tried getting into photography without spending way too much money on a camera. I simply use a little cannon powershot and see what I can do with that.  I randomly have periods of time where I attempt photography and then I give it up for a while.  Well here are some pictures that I have taken and have actually thought may be decent.  Hope everyone enjoys them.

The following picture is the one I am most proud of… I’m not big on naming my pictures as that seems slightly pretentious to me but this is simply a photo of a fountain at sunset.  This was taken in Old San Juan in Puerto Rico two summers ago when I went to this beautiful location on a mission trip to build houses.

Here is another picture from Puerto Rico.  Its of a waterfall whose name I can not remember near this rain forest.  The pictures of the rain forest did not come out sadly because of the humidity. 

This picture is one I took basically as a joke when someone tries to be all artsy by using black and white and also takes pictures of random every day things.  I ended up actually liking this picture however.  It is very plain and to me it evokes many memories of the beach and days I have spent there with my friends.

The next three photos are of random flowers after a rainstorm.  I used to be a member of this forum where I participated in photography challenges and one of them was to get a picture of water droplets sitting on something so the day it rained I went outside to check out some flowers and get some pictures.  My camera is not amazing so the quality is not outstanding but I think they came out all right.

Here is a picture of a sunrise, one of the few I have woken up to see at the beach.  Sadly it was a horribly cloudy day, freezing cold and just not completely enjoyable but I did get several good pictures out of it.  Anyways here they are.

OK This last one is not a picture taken by me but actually of me taken by my roommate’s dad at a regional track competition.  I just really like this one because high jump is such a quick sport and this picture makes everything look completely still and peaceful.

Well that’s really all there is to my current “portfolio” but I will be sure to add more whenever I get the chance to get out there with my camera.  I really would appreciate comments on this by the way and any kind of advice for photography would be greatly appreciated as well.  Thanks for reading!
