Hi Steemit!
I'm brand spanking new and this is my #introduceyourself post. I go by Spudalicious on various sites but, my name is Brent Watkins. I am a Software Engineer and hobbyist landscape photographer based in Idaho, USA. I'm very excited to become a part of the Steemit community.
My day job is the same as everybody else's, so... that's about all there is to say about that. Work is work, I like food and shelter and all that.
My passion is photography. I became involved with photography in the same manner as many other people. I simply wanted to capture the sights and moments of various backpacking and road trip outings. Over time, my passion for photography grew and continues to grow as I learn more about it on every photographic journey.
In recent years I have begun to draw a great deal of inspiration from the art of the Romantic Era in particular, the Luminist Movement. You will find that I try to mimic the bold color, fantastical light and grand sweeping landscapes that so moved the artists of the early nineteenth century. I strive to convey more than the documentarian view of a location. I hope to share the sense of awe and emotions I felt when the image was captured.
Im happy to be here and I can't wait to get involved.
