Hi - I'm Jim Miotke and I would like to welcome you to BetterPhoto.com! If you love photography, you've come to the right place!

My wife Denise and I, along with our great team of friends, have been running BetterPhoto.com for over a dozen years. Denise and I are both photographers, and our three children are our favorite subjects. But above all our shooting, our number one hope is that BetterPhoto will help you say "YES!" to your creative dreams.

Our biggest problem is that BetterPhoto is simply too big, too rich, too full of great features and resources. And the BetterPhoto community is - if this is possible - too loving and appreciative! Not a bad problem to have!

The good news is that, if you're new to BetterPhoto, getting started is easy. You simply have to know where to start first:

• If you most want to learn photography, check out our fantastic and now famous online photography courses or our photography articles.

• If you want to dive into the wonderful world of photo sharing, check out the photography galleries or the photo gallery and websites for photographers products we offer here at BetterPhoto.

• If you're in the mood to compete, try entering your photos into one of our photography contests, which are among the most prestigious and exciting on the Web.
