I have enjoyed photography and considered myself an amature photographer for the last 25 years. I got my first camera, a Minolta X-370, and took a black and white photography class in college. Since then I had a darkroom in every house I've owned until most recently, when digital photography made life so much easier. I got away from creative photography and darkroom work while my kids were small due to the amount of time involved. I have now jumped back into photography as a hobby and purchased a Sony NEX-3 and a Nikon D5100. I'm doing my best to learn, experiment, and have fun.
