Aside from writing, photography has also been a growing passion of mine. I first starting using my old, hand-me-down Canon late last November and have been slowly but surely teaching myself the basic ins and outs of photography since then. While I still have tons to learn, I've seen some major improvement over the past seven months and hope to see even more in the near future. The Haskell was only my sixth time using my camera at the track, but I think it may have been the first time that I finally started to get the hang of action shots...and with that I introduce my new series, "Through The Lens", which will feature photos of mine each time I visit the racetrack for a major racing day.
