I am new to photography, as you can probably tell from my photostream. :-) I became interested in it from listening to friends discuss their love for photgraphy and it inspired me (They're REALLY good by the way). I just have a little point 'n shoot with the hopes of graduating soon. However, I believe I need to sharpen my skills as a photographer, before I can justify having a nice camera. So, by all means, if you have any suggestions or recommendations, feel free to let me know how I can better improve my skills as a photographer. As a teacher, I know that you are ALWAYS learning, so I don't take offense to criticism. See you in Flickrland!
