Although I don't consider myself as very creative, I do enjoy creating things. That includes making photographs and publishing a few websites.
My first website, originally constructed by someone else, who unfortunately passed away, was started when I began my portrait photography business in 1993.
Eventually, I was able to gain control over it, and have since totally redesigned it on a new platform.
Bruce Lovelace, The Traveling Photographer specializes in portrait photography on location in and around the South Jersey area.
The idea for the Canon Camera Geek website came to me in 2011. For years and years many of my portrait photography clients would ask me what's the best Kind of camera to get.
At that time, the answer was easy. Canon dominated the point and shoot and DSLR market and coincidentally, all of me gear was Canon. I launched the site in 2012.
Although I've used a ton of Canon equipment, my disclaimer is "CanonCameraGeek.com" is NOT associated with Canon Inc. or any of its subsidiaries.
The Nikon-shooting photography friends I hang with have fun by calling me: Bruce Lovelace, the Canon Camera Geek.
Once I made the tough decision to sell the Soccer Shots franchise, I did some soul searching. I knew I'd really miss having a positive impact on these youngsters.
I had one of those epiphany moments where clarity bursts through the cloud. Why not combine two passions, or maybe even 3 passions into one?
I decided to meld my enjoyment of teaching, getting a kick out of influencing children in a good way, and my passion for photography into one activity. I teach free photo workshops to children.
Instead of being called Coach Bruce in soccer, my photography students now call me Coach Bruce.
My first website and blog, made to help others improve their photography. It doesn't resemble the original website in any way at all.
Started in 2009, it has grown to hundreds of articles with thousands of daily visitors. Posts are updated often to keep up with technology.
The site provides general and specific tips on composition, lighting, and exposure, as well as tips on cameras, lenses, and other accessories.
