Welcome to my Blog

Well this is officially my first blog as Photos By GI. First let me introduce myself. My name is Troy Ward. I am an amature photographer who is also a member of the US Army. I have been in the Army for over 10 years, and am just starting as a photographer. I hope to be able to use this blog as a place to showcase some of my photos and for anyone who is interested, to follow my progression from Joe Schmoe with a camera to someone who is talented enough to make some good art. Please realize that this is still very much a work in progress, so check back regularly, because I hope that you will see a lot of changes over time.

A little bit more about myself. I am 29, and from San Diego, CA originally. I have been married to my wife Liz for almost 5 years now. We also have a 2 year old daughter, Emma. We are currently stationed at Fort Riley, KS and I have recently returned from my second tour in Iraq. Later on next year, we will be moving to the Colorado Springs, CO area so I will definately be looking to meet new people out there with similar interests. Other then that, enjoy and please feel free to drop me a note with any suggestions or comments that you might have.
