The word "photography" comes from two Greek words which, when put together, translate to "writing with light".

Looking back, I've always been interested in some form of documenting the world around me. I've been a writer since I could hold a pencil, and during a brief period in my teen years, I had a mini cassette recorder practically fused to my hand. I always wanted a camera of my own, but for one reason or another, it was always being put off. When I was 18, I bought my first very first camera, a Kodak Cameo 35mm. A little over a year later, my boyfriend (now husband), bought me my first SLR, a Canon Rebel G. My introduction to digital was through the HP Photosmart C935. I've gone through a few more cameras since then (and even collect the odd one here and there), but the model I now shoot with most often is the Canon EOS 7D.
