has been a member since February 2007 and goes by grathy.
I am a published writer and photographer, whose work has appeared in several magazines, newspapers, books and on several web sites. Some of these include: Newsweek, MSNBC.com, Rangefinder, Shutterbug, Petersen's Photographic, WPPI, Professional Photographers Magazine, Photographer's Forum, and many others.
I am largely self-taught, and believe that by taking chances with your images, you can often stumble across the unusual and fascinating.
Bend the rules, and see what happens!
