Dear Deviant Art Community.

I am a simple man with simple tastes that has not had a lot of formal education outside of HS and trade school. I am mostly self taught and just sort of plug my way through. I wanted to learn to cook so I started bugging chefs to show me how to make my favorite dishes starting at the age of 7. Now I am good enough (in some peoples opinions) to work in the Restaraunt field and in fact have if you count Pizza joints and Arby's in my early 20's.

I decided I wanted to learn how to work on cars so I did. I have since then over the course of the last 20 years owned 45+ cars and nearly as many motorcycles many of which I did either full restorations or at least light ones preparing them for sale.

Now I have decided I like photography so I welcome your criticism and advice. I do not have a fancy DSLR but am planning on adding one to my collection of cameras as time and money allow. Right now I'm just enjoying going out and finding things I like to shoot and playing with different techniques.

Unlike many people on the internet I am not some made up persona. I am a real person with real feelings and emotions. This is who I am in real life so I would appreciate you keeping that in mind when making comments as I will be when I comment on something you have spent time and effort or maybe even poured your heart and soul into.

Thank You for taking the time to read this and I look forward to viewing your art and blogs.

Tom aka Fowvay
