About Photo-Talk: Talk, Tips & Pics, the VHPD Photo-Blog

Welcome to Photo-Talk!

I frequently hear from people that they would have been a photographer if they hadn’t been ______ (insert career choice here). To those who are rediscovering an old hobby, to those who are new to photography and want to learn how to take strong photographs, and to those with shiny new cameras that have lots of confusing dials . . . this blog is for you.

Looking for information on a specific photo topic? Email me your idea! I’ll be happy to see what I can do to open the topic for discussion.
