HI,

I am a person who has always loved taking photos! However, I only started getting more serious about photography a few years ago when I asked for a DSLR camera for Christmas. I still was scared to take it off "automatic" settings until about two years ago. At that time, I began to experiment with taking photos of just about anything so that I could learn to use the DSLR in manual mode. When I gained a little confidence, I began taking photos of friends, their children, and my travels.

Taking photos brings me joy as I can examine things through a different "eye". It is good for my soul!!
