At the moment, I don't have any photographs to post. However, I am actively taking pictures frequently. I'll show some off later, for sure!

Just got my new camera lense and figured I'd stop by here and ask if there are any other casual photographers around. I have recently decided on a new subject that I want to photograph, and it's proving to be quite the task to track down. Realized my new focus after driving downtown and finding an old abandoned industrial plant. Just beautiful. All brick, broken windows, warped and piled metal railings laying outside with weeds and tall grass growing through them. So amazing. And different from my normal subject, macro portraits of animals, or general shallow DOF pictures.

As well as finding this new subject, I recently found out that my favorite camera body (Micro 4/3) has a Macro lense now released for it. So that's super exciting.

Basically, I'm hoping to chat up with a few amateur photography buffs and see what you guys are into. Maybe post some photos of stuff that you've taken photos of before?

I see so many iPhone photos lately that I kind of miss seeing more artistic shots from people. You know, with nice lighting, no heavy blue-hued flash... Haha. All that good stuff.

What makes you passionate about your pictures?
