The Photographer

I am Derrick Sumpter Jr, Photographer of DSJRecreations and as you can see I like to take pictures of things that I see as interesting. I have no formal photography training or DSLR camera. Generally I take pictures with whatever cellphone I have on my person. While learning from Youtube videos, books, articles, or just on the fly as I'm taking pictures. I enjoy landscape and nature photography the most but I will slowly be getting into human models as the weeks pass.

I've been interested in photography since I was a kid with my first Polaroid instant camera. Over the years I would upgrade cameras like the kodak film cameras to digital cameras and here I am using a cellphone. Unfortunately my confidence about my photography work wouldn't let me share anything I did with anyone because I was afraid of criticism or negative comments. Now as I'm more confident with my photos and editing skill I will share my experiences with everyone who is interested in seeing it.

I will eventually get a new DSLR camera (got my eyes on one at the mall) in due time but for now I will work with what I have. Thanks for dropping in and thanks for reading! There is more to come so stay tuned.
