i have been taking pics for a long time, but i just started to get serious with it a year or 2 back, now i have a halfway decent camera and exploring more things to shoot..............its kinda funny, but for me, you cant push creativity, when I go to shoot, I can hardly ever find the right shot, but when i go for fun and just have the camera along, I seem to get better pictures, I dont know why, lol.................I'm drawn to water and nature scenes.........its just nice being out in the open............
