About Derek G. Shaw
An information security analyst by trade, a photographer by passion. Although I have been taking photographs as a hobby for several years, in 2004 I decided to pursue a career in photography. As self-taught photographer, it is a constant learning experience.

They say that it is not the destination that matters but the journey. The last few years have been a journey of self-discovery and realization. Several thousand photos have been taken and a few hundred pictures realized. Some good, some bad, but all with a lesson to teach and a story to tell.

This website is a sample of the my work. While some photographers only post a few images or a portfolio or two, I have decided to post several pictures for many reasons. The most important reason being to share the pictures with those who want to see them. After all, is that not why we take pictures? To share the experience?
