I am emotional and sensitive and can easily be influenced by good and bad, practicality and realism often escapes me.

 

I am secretive, hard to know, and hardly know myself.

 

I need to learn how to use power wisely, because I have an urge to rule.

 

I am easygoing, affectionate, and offer no threat or challenge to stronger and more exuberant characters.

 

I tend to be emotional rather than rational, instinctive more than intellectual, and have limited willpower.

 

I tend to withdraw into my own dream world as a retreat from the harsh reality of day - to -day living and the inability to cope with real life.

 

However, I can be remarkably creative in literature, music and art.

 

Quotes I love:

 

1. There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer. ~Ansel Adams

 

2. You don't take a photograph, you make it. ~Ansel Adams

 

3. Buying a Nikon doesn't make you a photographer. It makes you a Nikon owner. ~Author Unknown

 

4. If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

 

5. One photo out of focus is a mistake, ten photo out of focus are an experimentation, one hundred photo out of focus are a style. ~Author Unknown

   

I started with a Nikon d40, and recently upgraded to d200. I own a speedlight, two nikon lenses, tripod and photoshop elements 6.0 to process my pictures.I have also recently purchased photomatix pro because I have a small interest in HDR photography.
