HI EVERBODY,
MY NAME IS EVAN. I LIVE IN A PRETTY SMALL TOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE WEST TEXAS. I SELL FARM EQUIPMENT FOR A LIVING AND LOVE IT. ONE EVENING IN LATE 2006 I WAS LEAVING A CUSTOMERS FARM WHEN I TURNED TO THE WEST I SAW THE MOST AWESOME SUNSET I HAVE EVER SEEN. AT THAT MOMENT I THOUGHT TO MYSELF GET YOUR CAMERA AND SNAP A PICTURE. I REACHED IN MY BACKSEAT AND PULLED OUT A LITTLE POINT AND SHOOT SONY DIGITAL CAMERA. I TOOK 5 OR 6 PICTURES OF THAT SUNSET, I HURRIED HOME AND LOADED THEM ON MY COMPUTER. THIS IS WHEN MY EYES WERE OPENED TO A WONDERFUL WORLD. I LOOKED AT MY SCREEN AND EVERYONE OF THE PICTURES I JUST TOOK OF THE AWESOME SUNSET WERE HORRIBLE! I THOUGHT TO MYSELF HOW CAN THAT BE? A FEW DAYS LATER I STARTED TALKING TO A CO WORKER ABOUT MY EXPIERENCE. COME TO FIND OUT HE HAD JUST A LITTLE BIT OF PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPIERENCE. THATS ALL IT TOOK, AFTER TALKING WITH HIM I LEARNED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CAMERAS AND HOW THEY WORK. WHEN SATURDAY FINALLY ROLLED AROUND I DROVE TO THE CLOSSEST CAMERA STORE I KNEW OF AND PURCHASED A NIKON D80....A FEW MONTHS LATER FLATLANDERS PHOTOGRAPHY WAS BORN...AND THAT BRINGS US TO TODAY, I HAVE BEEN TAKING PICTURES FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS AND THE MORE I DO IT THE MORE I WANT TO DO IT. PROVIDING I LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE I TEND TO TAKE LOTS OF LANDSCAPE SHOTS, I USED TO SAY THAT I SPECIALIZE IN LANDSCAPE BUT I DONT BELIEVE THAT TO BE TRUE ANY MORE. I SPECIALIZE IN ANYTHING THAT IS IN FROM OF MY CAMERA. MY HOPES ARE TO ONE DAY BE ABLE TO TAKE PICTURES FULL TIME. I DO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS OPENING DOORS FOR ME EVERY DAY IN ORDER TO GET ME TO THAT DREAM. I GUESS THATS IT FOR NOW. ENJOY MY PICTURES!
