About Tone Garot: For me, photography started as a means to chronicle and share my many and varied excursions including desert hiking, peak bagging, caving, and exploration of Mexico. For approximately a decade, I shot only point-and-shoot cameras, starting with film, then switching to digital. Although I did do some post-processing (cropping, auto-levels, sharpen edges), I never really took photography seriously until July 2010 when I bought my first DSLR. Having a technical background, I rapidly learned the ins and outs of camera basics, lenses, exposure, tripods, etc. I also picked up post-processing quickly. I spent a lot of time shooting and a lot of time post-processing, all the while experimenting and discovering a whole new world of possibilities. I soon realized that knowing how to use a camera isn't the same as knowing how to take a good photo. Many, if not most, of my best shots have an element of serendipity, even those taken in my home studio. I am still learning and haven't chosen a particular adjective to describe what I do yet, i.e. I don't know if I want to be a travel photographer, product photographer, wedding photographer, or what. For me, this is a hobby, a pursuit, perhaps even a passion. I don't want to limit myself yet with adjectives.	About My Photos: I post my most recent images to Facebook albums. Now that Facebook allows larger images, i.e. 960px wide, I find their format usable. Plus it's nice to get feedback. All my images are accessible by public, but feel free to 'subscribe' to see images as they are posted. My "portfolio" shots are on Tumblr. Here I post images only sparingly. I choose the best of my best, and this is often based upon feedback from my Facebook account. Initially, I used Tumblr because it allowed larger images; however, the primitive native feedback mechanism (and addition of Discus) are fairly meager.
