Allen Rockwell
I am what you might call an "advanced amateur", a "Semi-Pro" or a "Part-Time Pro". I do not rely on photography as my primary source of income, which allows me to have fun with my photography but occasionally make sales to help pay the bills. I shoot with a pair of Canon EOS digital SLR bodies and a variety of Canon "L" glass. You can see my work at www.allenrockwellphoto.com
