My name is Greg L. Wright and I love computers and photography. For many years I have been involved with technology since I was small. Gadgets are always in my possession to be able to evaluate them and know as much as I can to use, train, and help others to use them better.

Photography Portfolio

I love working with both computers and photography. I am involved in freelance contract work in the Information Technology industry. I am also a semi-professional photographer.

  • My profession: computers (Systems Analysis and Design) – a big term for making business more streamlined and efficient with the use of computers using programming and databases as the key components
  • My hobby profession: photography (SnapJag.com) – as a Freelance Photographer I choose to shoot things that represent a “lifestyle” and candid moments… it might be better said what I don’t do… I don’t do weddings or engagements or portraits in a formal way. It’s all about candid lifestyle with snapshots. Fun, and capturing the moment.

Business Profile

My main job is a full-time worker as a Sr. Database Administrator at a Fortune 100 company. I also do freelance contract work on occasion. As a computer guru and having over 25 years of experience I get involved with the following technologies and solving problems: MS SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL and others in database administration and architecture; C# software development. I also like creating websites and custom graphics. Autocad design and 3D printing are also a hobby.

In my spare time I offer freelance photographer services, specializing in candid and event photography. It lets me keep active and creative while also getting out of the house and interacting with people, doing some traveling, and being involved in social events, attending concerts, and sporting events.

Why Here and Now

This site … well … it’s a way to get all the information out of my head … I’m busting at the seams trying to remember what I have learned and this is a way to jot it down. If it helps out other people, then I’ve met my goal. This site is also my sandbox, along with other information to help people, trying new things. Check them out (SnapJag.com). This site is a launching pad for bigger things, so here it stands.

Philosophy

The philosophy of all this is … God gave me knowledge, talents, and skills, and I want to pay it forward, helping as many people as I can.

Will Smith said in an E! News special …

I absolutely feel that there are certain gifts and certain talents that God has blessed me with that it would be spiritually criminal to only use to make money. I’ve been blessed with a vehicle to be able to change, as sappy as it may sound, make the world a better place.
