I have always been interested in photography and in the last year I have really started working on becoming better. Playing with taking pictures, playing with those pictures afterwards in my computer. Just seeing what I am capable of and taking shots that I enjoy. My free time is usually spent reading, but I took up canoeing in July of this year (2007) and this has really opened up a great new avenue in my own little photography world. Just seeing where it is going to take me now. I joined Flickr because I got caught up in the DPS forum, now I think I'm just addicted to it all. : )
