Capture the Beauty in a Photo

About Me

In my work I have always needed photo's for my projects so I decided to also become a "photographer" for myself. I love taking pictures. If I don't need a particular photo for a project I head for Balboa Park or Mission Bay to take photo's. BP is a photgraphers dream and isn't to far away. The coastline is another has endless possibilities. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u2/icuten/BkgdfountainPos t.gif Free MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
