Usually, I am not much for writing about me, but I figure if I am looking at profiles, to learn more about people, people are probably looking at mine! So, I will move on and actually say a word or two.

 

A few years back, I was experiencing pain at work, and have spent the better part of two years with work comp doctors. They really have not done anything for me. The only answer really is to leave my job! Well, thats not realistic. So, some where in the middle of 2009, I though I would take up photography. The goal was to get good enough to sell work and thus have to work less hours at work. No problem, right? But when I started to photograph, I just could not get into it. It was in September of 2009 where I figured I should really try! In October, I went out shooting with my husband and came home with all crap, I was greatly discouraged. I even changed cameras, talked my husband out of his 40D and got him the Canon 7D. Went out again, got crap! Finally, I started to read book and magazines. I took an instant liking to long exposures and night time exposures. Finding my niche really encouraged me to move forward. So, from October 2009 to now, I have learned so much, but I know I have a lot of learning to do! SO, if you see my work and like it, please tell me, so I can be encouraged. If you see my work and see what can be improved on, then tell me!!!!!! I am not done learning, I will never be done learning!
