My name is Dustin Carter. Im a 20 year old Nikon photographer. I'm in the Navy, but I do my photography whenever I can get a chance. I've been doing it for about 3 years now and it is my ultimate passion. If you feel the same, I think in more ways than one we're connected. The concept of photography, atleast to me, is alot more than meets the eye; I believe it goes all the way down to a spiritual level. This is the difference between one who snaps pictures randomly and a true photographer: the passion, the dedication to get that one shot. And the satisfaction knowing that your troubles were rewarded when you see the photo just as you had wanted it. For me photography is more than a hobby; sometimes it becomes almost an obsession: to get that perfect shot, perfect angle, perfect outcome. I also think many of yourselves can relate quite well to what I'm talking about. Just thought I'd share some of my thoughts with you all. Good luck out there. & last but definitely not least of all, thank you everyone for the 1,000+ pageviews. I will do my best to keep bringing you great photos!
