About Me - Who the Heck is Samantha Decker?

Yes, that's me in a Lilly Pulitzer sundress and my Lowepro Slingpack on my back, out on the town ready to take pictures at a moment's notice. So what if Lowepro and Lilly don't really go together? I'll be derned if I don't get my money's worth out of both of them! ;) I actually wasn't planning on taking pictures when I got dressed that morning or I would have put on something a little more..."sporty." But I digress....

My name's Samantha and I am an amateur photographer, blogger, web designer, and grad student (soon to be teacher). You may have read my blog The French Corner if you're a French student or teacher. I got into graphic and web design about 10 years ago but I only got seriously interested in photography in early 2009, and I am fairly new to the DSLR world. I have learned a lot about photography from the nice folks at Flickr, some great books I have read, and all the wonderful blogs and podcasts I am subscribed to. I started this blog because I don't see too many blogs out there by female photographers, and even fewer by ones my own age (the "twenty-something" crowd). On this blog, you'll see my musings on anything relating to photography and post-processing, and from time to time I'll share my own images. Some of the topics will be female-specific, but many of them won't, as photography is such a broad topic, so invite your male shutterbug friends to come read this blog too if you like it! If you want to contribute an article to the blog, see the Contribute page.
