ChiliFrei64 (Daniel Frei)

My name is Daniel Frei and I've been into "taking photos" for as long as I can remember. I've had a camera since 3rd grad and always took pictures. When I got older I was still working with point and shoots but dove really heavy into camping and being out in nature. I loved to capture sun rises and sunsets. In 2008 I took the plunge and bought a DSLR after seeing what a friend was able to produce with his. From that point I have loved everything about landscape photography.

I am a former IT Administrator for a multi-national automotive supplier and have been in the IT field for 9 years. Most recently I left my job to be a stay at home Dad to my twin girls and tagged on an extra kid to my duties this last year. I have also been married to my wife for 8 years now and could not be happier! She has supported me and put up with me spending money on equipment even though I make nothing off my hobby. She encourages me to get out and shoot and doesn't give me a hard time so she is great. I enjoy taking family pictures and pictures of my kids but I don't do "people" photography. I love the great outdoors because it is peaceful to me and I love photography because I can capture that peace.
