| Hello world! |
Hello, my name is Howard Cameron, born and raised in Montreal, Quebec Canada, now living in Edmonton, Alberta for the past four years. I consider myself to be a hobbyist when it comes to photography and drawing. They are both interests that I am very passionate about.
What got me into photography was from when I took a photography class as part of my electives for a Communications program at Vanier College. Our teach spoke with a lisp, looked like the dad from American pie and loved to say "Right on!" Anyways, I was given a Pentax SLR camera and the first assignment he gave to the class was to run around school taking pictures of anything of interest.

I took some really bad photos but I just loved the whole idea of being able to have so much control of the pictures I took. So I purchased my very first digital camera, the Fuji Finepix 6800zoom (Designed by Porsche). This was back in 2001.

Fastfoward to 2010, since living here in Edmonton I haven't gotten much of a chance to venture outside and to explore the city, that is, until I purchased my very first DSLR the Canon T1i. I purchased this because I could not afford the T2i that just came out and I wanted a DSLR that could do video as well. Needless to say I still sucked at taking pictures but that did not stop me thanks to the fact that I was limited to my memory card size nor how many rolls of 12-24 exposure films I was carrying.
Now here I am today, still improving, always learning something new, and just loving the fact that I am able to capture and share random moments with people who are interested in seeing themselves in a whole new light.
