I am an amateur photographer living in Boxborough, MA.  I bought my first DSLR camera in June 2018, took it to Iceland that July, and took all of the photos in automatic mode because I didn't know how to use the camera.  I took a photography class in Spring of 2019 to begin my journey of learning how to use the camera, and how to take (and make) better pictures.  Hopefully, you will be able to notice progress from then until now.
