Hello, My name is Allan Schroeder, and I was asked by William to be a regular guest contributor to the Shutter Moment blog. I have a strong background in photography and journalism, and until the end of last year, worked as a professional photographer. I have photographed on 5 or the world’s 7 continents, and represented Getty Images, Wire Image, The Canadian Press, and the AFP. My images have appeared in Newspapers, Magazines, Books, and as artwork for private clients. I am a hardcore Nikon user, and I have pretty much owned, used or borrowed almost every modern lens and body they have produced since 1984. I’m happy to be a part of Shutter Moment, and look forward to helping out and contributing. If you wish to follow me on Twitter, you can do so here. Thank you.

Hi all, as you can see. The old Shutter Moment is completely gone. Instead of a gallery of my pictures, this will now act as a blog mainly talking about photography. Within the next few weeks, you folks can see my photography portfolio at www.williamzhouphotography.com. I also hope to invite a few photogs as regular guest bloggers here.
