I have loved photography since I was a tot, but the photographic limitations of my Le Clic camera were many. I did eventually learn not to cut people's heads off in my pictures. That was cool. Once when I was a tween, my mom let me shoot a roll of faux black and white film in her black market Canon SLR (that is as old as I am) and I was hooked!

I'm a student with a double major in Interior Design and English . . . they only SOUND like they don't work well together. As part of my ID major, I had to take the intro to photography class. I say "had" like it was a bad thing . . . It was far from bad. It was INCREDIBLE! I've never known such a Zen-like existence as working in the darkroom! My photographic progress that semester was phenomenal, but once the class was over and I was forced to focus on other things, my inspiration began to wane. Things were busy, life was crazy, and photography was pushed to the back burner.

I had the good fortune of inheriting a fully manual SLR several years ago, so a number of my photographs were done in film. You'd see more examples, but I'm lazy when it comes to scanning and retouching film.

Recently, I had the WONDERFUL fortune of receiving a Canon Digital Rebel XT. We have been virtually inseparable ever since. Most of my photos are from the Rebel. (Is it wrong to want to call him James?)

I love the community here on Flickr. So many wonderful photographers to educate and inspire me. I want to get better and I know I have a long way to go. I welcome all comments and critique. There is ALWAYS room for improvement.
