About
Welcome to the Poorhouse.
With a last name like “Poor” you simply must have a good sense of humor. It is especially fun at the bank when applying for loans.
I decided to separate the blog from my main page and this will be my new place to share things that may not fit the main page as well as I would like.
About me?
I’m a full time photographer and part time consultant which is a switch from exactly the opposite back in 2007.
I’m also apprenticing as a dog trainer with Laurie Williams, the star of the CBS TV show Greatest American Dog and owner of Pupniron Canine Fitness and Learning Center The things I’m learning there are making me a better photographer as well. I’ll be sharing some of my photography work with Laurie & Andrew as well as the rest of her dogs over the course of the program.
I got my start in “serious photography” with birds and other natural subjects and have since added pet portraits (and their people), senior portraits and some event photography to the mix. Pets and Nature photography remain my passion though.
I really enjoy teaching and have a background in instructional systems design as well as curriculum development and delivery. On my blog, I’ll be providing tutorials here on everything from photography basics, to post processing to business tips and beyond.
