Iv'e been into photography since about the 8th grade, I took classes all throughout high school, and im continuing to do so in college, And I hope to make a career out of it after I finish my schooling.

I'm Katelyn, I got into photography exactly a year ago, when we went to NYC for my sister's birthday, and just a couple days after my dad got a DSLR. I played with it for days, got interested in photography, then getting my own DSLR just before Christmas. I use a Nikon D80 for digital, my sister's Fuji Finepix for a P+S (mine died, which was what inspired me to get the D80), and a Nikon N60 for film.
Nice guild!
EDIT: Forgot to post the gallery... www.flickr.com/photos/x_forbidden_solitude_x

thanks for the invite to the guild...

my gaia moniker used to be lique, and changed recently to sangra... my true name is sara, and i'm soon to be seventeen. i've been interested in photography for about a year and a half, and would say i have improved considerably over the past months. i use a nikon L4 which i detest for its autofocus and horrible zoom capabilities, but i'm saving for a new camera. my gallery is http://sairuhmystique.deviantart.com.

i appreciate construction criticism, but that which is based on personal opinion can get irritating when it is denouncing a perfectly acceptable quality of a photo, such as low saturation, etc.

[Dawn.is.Dandy]

heart photo guilds!

My name is Dawn and I'm currently a student at Oakbridge Academy of the Arts outside of Pittsburgh PA. I've been taking photos (on more of a professional level) for 6 years now, which includes 6 years worth of classes. I'm also getting my associates degree in photography and have had several successful paid comissions. I'm a film addict even though I do enjoy digital. I use a Ashi Pentax K1000. My current camera is from around the early 90's, but my first camera ever was the same model from the original batch of K1000s put out in the mid 70's. It's my baby. I am a former camera shop employee and adore all things photo. I do enjoy how classy black and white looks, but I adore super saturated color and cross-processed film.

Here's my ghastly gallery:

Hi! I'm Maryohki, Ohki for short, OhkiBaka when I'm in the mood for such a name. I was invited by [Girl Hearts Crayons] (thanks!) I have a lot of interests besides photography, but since this *is* a photography guild, I'll stick with that in my intro.

I began photography as a hobby that I take seriously around 6th or 7th grade, so about 4 years ago. I started with 4-H photography projects in my town in Indiana. in 2006 I took a photography class for the first time, and came out with one really nice shot. (since we had to process and develop ourselves, I kinda screwed up the negs, but one shot came out really nice. I just need to edit out a developing error on the edge of the picture by cropping it).

I've been to Germany and France to take pictures and came out with some nice ones there. My favorite shots are, as named in my gallery, "suffer in silence" and "forgotten original". My favorite type of photography is animals and nature, but I'm not very good at it yet, especially with animals. (my only good animal shots IMO are "The Blob" and "Hey there, Beautiful")

My camera of choice is a Canon K2 Rebel film camera.

My gallery is here:

I hope to make lotsa new friends and people that inspire me!

Hola, denizens of the GIoP!

My actual, real life, non-made up name is William (A.) Clark. The "A" is important becuase my dad is William B. and my grandfather is William C.

I kid you not. But onwards.

I am currently a freshman in highschool, age 15. I began photography about a year ago on the lead of one of my best friends, who was also a photographer. I am completely self taught. No classes, no nothing. I started with a Canon Digital Elph 2 Megapixel Point-and-shoot crap-camera, which soon broke. From there on I continued my hobby using cameras borrowed from my friend, my dad, and my sister, as well as, later on, a Canon A-1 Film SLR that was given to me by my dad. Eventually I saved up enough money to get a Canon 350d dSLR, which is now my 'main' camera.

My gear: Canon 350d, Canon A-1, Canon Speedlite 420EX Flash, Canon S3 IS, Kit lenses (the lenses that came with the cameras, an 18-55mm f/3.0 for the 350d and a 50mm prime for the A-1), Canon EF Zoom 80-200mm f/4.5, Kalimar MC 28-70mm (FD Bayonet Mount, for the A-1)

My wishlist: Olympus XA, LOMO LC-A, Canon 20D (of course), Infared Filter for the Canon 350d, and lotsa lenses.

I'm a sucker for that whole "toy camera" look as well as the look of cross-processed film. I haven't actually physically experimented with these techniques yet, so all I can do for now is emulate, but I plan to actually experiment with the real thing in the future.

Looking back at my early photos, I'm absolutely amazed at how far I have come.

Photography is an art form that fits me very well. I really enjoy being creative, but I am also a very technical person. With photography, I get the best of both worlds.

Thank you very much for the invite Crayons! This guild seems bursting with promise heart
And to think, just a couple weeks ago I was feeling like there weren't any other photographers here on Gaia ^_^ now I've got a guild full of ya! It's great to meet you!
I'm Phoenix and I'm 28 years old. I work in a camera store and have been selling cameras for the last 3.5; the 3.5 years before that I developed in a 1-hour color lab. I enjoy shooting scenery, abstract and candid portraiture with my Sony Alpha 100. To see my photos just pop into my photobucket here:

I was so pleasantly surprised to be invited to another guild, I couldn't help but click 'yes.'

Nothing much too it. I'm a 22 year old young woman who juggles school with work. However, I have a major passion for comic books, which could be interpreted as 'hey you, get a life.'

Oh well. Camera wise, most of the time I can be seen with a Canon 20D. For fun I use all kinds of film cameras...currently my favorite is a Holga.
