My name is Billy. My photography interest came by accident...

I was determined to quite smoking my two plus packs of cigarettes a day. On April 16, 2009 I put down my last cigarette. However, I soon realized that I needed to replace it with some sort of positive hobby to keep my hands and my mind occupied. It also didn't help that I was unemployed during that time. Every moment that I got the urge to smoke I would snap a picture instead.

Needless to say that within the first six months I exceeded in shots what I would have actually smoked, had it been cigarettes. I also put a photo video together of my work called: "10,000 To Zero", which can be found on YouTube at: [link] .

My name AmvoyPhotog was derived as I began to develop and figure out my style of shooting. I enjoy shooting from a voyeuristic and often lurking ambush type of scenarios, while also utilizing high and low camera angle perspectives.

I love a wide array of shooting, but my favorite is URBEX and architecture. I love the history behind the abandoned buildings that I visit. I enjoy the allure of what may or may not be around the next darkened corner. I also like the fact that when I shoot at these types of places that I feel the emotion behind the lives that were once there.

Photography so far as afforded me to become the creative person I have become. All because I replaced a negativity in my life with some great positive potential in something that I thoroughly love and enjoy.

I hope you will take time to look through my gallery - THANKS!

Adding to My Photo Collection

I am very excited for the weekend. I just got off the phone and things are materializing for not only a relaxing weekend in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and The Cape, but too many photo ops to mention. Come on Friday!

Next week....... watch for a large variety of new photos from people, to lighthouses, to castles and estates! :)

Friday night I roll into Connecticut at about 1 a.m. and drift off to sleep on a buddies yacht. Wake up and head to Mystic, CT and then onto Rhode Island and the unplanned. How cool is life?
