Did I take my favorite photo with a Digital Rebel in full auto mode…Totally.
I’m guessing every photographer has a group of his or her favorite shots…I’ve got mine, not in a list on paper, but in my head I know which are my favs. I recently had someone who shoots with the Canon Digital Rebel tell me that he cant wait to upgrade to something “better” This got

I know Skye Schillhammer through our common friend Steve of Lush Cinema…who I met on the internet last year. I’ve been able to shoot photos of Skye a couple of times and I’ve always been impressed with his riding. And as I type this I’m realizing I posted about meeting people via Twitter on my
