“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race” - Calvin Coolidge

Hi all,

My name is Andy Pollard. I am a photo freelancer/enthusiast residing in the San Diego, Ca. Area. I frequently update the pages here so stop back often. I'm not locked into any one discipline of photography, and like it that way.

Being an IT Professional during the week, photograpy is my great escape. I hang out with the good folks over at the San Diego dSLR Photographic Group when ever I can. I frequently pop in to Digital Photography Challege to see what's up.
