I have loved photography ever since I picked up my dad's old 35 mm manual everything camera when I was in the 8th grade (back before we hardly knew what computers were let alone digital cameras!) I have recently rediscovered my love of photography with my new (to me) Canon EOS Rebel XTi and the world of flickr. I am an amateur who loves to take pictures of family memories and anything that catches my eye including playing with light, shadows, macros and interesting perspectives.
