I have only just discovered the wonderful world of photography. My husband bought me a digital SLR camera for Christmas 2 years ago but it sat on the shelf, even though I really wanted to use it. I could not bear to read the manual so I let the camera languish, unused.

After finally taking several photography lessons this year from a wonderful instructor I now wouldn't consider leaving the house without a camera in my purse. My life has changed in such wonderful ways. I feel like a veil has been lifted from my eyes...I see what I never saw before. But the most exciting thing is knowing that I have so much else to learn and see.

Look out world...here I come!
