Welcome to Ray Alstrom Dot Com!
I'm really passionate about two things: Computers and
Photography - and I love sharing both with other people. If you
need help with either, then you've definitely come to the right place.
"If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your
life." - Marc Anthony.
I'm an IT guy and have worked professionally in the field for over 30 years. I work on computers, all kinds, all sizes. I focus on repairs and maintenance - the tech stuff - anything from hard drive problems, virus infections, routers, network and internet issues to printer problems.
I'm also a photographer. I photograph traditional events - weddings, quinceañeras, senior photos, family photos, parties, etc. I encourage clients to present their ideas and I work to transfer those ideas into memorable photographs.
Computers
In short, I'm an IT guy and a Photographer. I've got years of
experience with both professions. I've had my hands on computers
since the onset of the personal PC back in the early 1980's.
Mostly self-taught through books, "hands-on" and trial and error, I've
worked over 30 years for various companies and organizations , as well
as on my own, as an IT professional .
Photography
I photograph people, places and things. I love doing it. It's
been a hobby of mine since childhood. I'm constantly seeking
information on all aspects of photography. I want to know as
much as possible about shutter speed, aperture, film speed (ISO),
lighting, lenses - basically everything that falls under the subject
of photography. In today's photography world, it's also
essential to have experience, knowledge and understanding of graphic
software in order to post-process and fine tune photographs to give
the customer photos that stand out. I have a strong background
in computer graphic art and photo manipulation software.
These are just a sampling of some of my photos. I use Flickr
as an online platform to display and store my photos. Feel
free to browse my albums. You might even consider signing up
for Flickr. Flickr has both free and paid memberships.
With a membership you can favorite photos, make comments and many
other features. Regardless, I hope you enjoy my photos!
