It took me several months to get my first photo published here on Anet. Since then I've been fortunate to have my work published in numerous blogs, websites, the Wall Street Journal and even the New York Times. Most of my skill has come from asking the right people the right questions on this site. Today I got my 1,500th photo published on Anet. Just about every photo taken with the combination of my classic Canon T2i (which my mom bought me - God rest her soul) and a Canon 70-200 L lens. Thanks for all the fun and all the learning. Plenty of both left to go I hope.
