About Me
Hello, my name is Nikki. Some call me the Shutterbug Bandit and the Serial Ink Spiller, but I'm just plain ol' Nikki. I got my first taste for the love of photography at the age of 12. I was inspired by an aunt who was into photography as well. She'd given me her Pentax ME and my zest for photographapy grew from that moment on.
Today, I use both digital and SLR cameras, with the Canon EOS 20D being my favorite toy. Featured below in the Photos section are a few samples from that camera.

Would you mind taking some pictures of me? You don't live that far. Do you ever come to Detroit?

You take some absolutely beautiful pictures! I'm hoping for your level of skill one day - but one photo at a time!

I just happened to stumble across your page while browsing Virb. As someone who just recently took up photography as a hobby, I wanted to tell you I really like your work. And I'm an Erykah Badu fan as well! :-) Baduizm is till my favorite CD to listen to in the summer. It's flawless. Take care!

Hello there- very nice place you've got here. I'm new to this game and would very much love some help with the whole 'customization' thing. All I'd like to do really is add a large profile image. If you could in some way help me out please, that'd be really awesome. Thank you, Ryan.
