Hi everyone! My name is Craig Stevens and I met Jim in Joshua Tree National Park this past weekend while shooting the Arch and Milky Way overnight. I’m so excited to find a community of photographers who are kind and excited about this hobby/profession.
A little about myself: I was born and raised in Rhode Island (there are dozens of us!), moved to Boston Massachusetts for both undergrad and grad school, did residency and worked in Boston for 6 years after grad school, then finally moved to beautiful San Diego, California for hopefully the remainder of my career.
My dad enjoyed photography and got me into it, and a friend of mine from from high school who is not a photojournalist by profession helped to refine my skills. I never got far beyond the “casual hobby” stage but I love trying new things, traveling new places, and taking landscapes and cityscapes. I started with a Fujifilm FinePix S5100 (if I remember correctly), then get a Nikon D70 in college and used my dads old lenses, then upgraded to a Nikon D7000 about 6 years ago (I think?), and my favorite lenses are the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8.
I have a two year old toddler, and unsurprisingly I’m just getting over an approximately two year hiatus of landscape photography.
I’m looking so much forward to learning about each and every one of you, and hopefully refining my skills to become a fraction as good as what I’ve seen from you folks so far from poking around the forum.
I leave this intro thread with one of my personal favorite Boston skyline pictures. It’s far from my most popular or other people’s favorites, but it’s my favorite.
