I moved to Utah in February 2008, and so far I love it! Sometimes I am homesick for Alabama and the South, but the move West has been good for me.
I mostly shoot for fun, but I've done a variety of paid assignments and had work published now and then.
I try not to do much editing. I hope that forces me to get better. I figure if I keep practicing this way, eventually my photos won't need that much editing or cropping.
