I am really grateful for a camera. It keeps me feeling creative. I discover that it doesn't even matter if it a fantastic camera, because even "lesser" ones force me to be different in my brain.

I use a camera and this site for many reasons.

It's been a unique way to keep in touch with people I know, love and respect--to see the world and their days through their eyes, and to keep in touch through their photos.

I enjoy being able to do the usual thing with pictures: document. Share with friends and family just the usual things.

Then, I enjoy playing. Trying things. Love this forum to mix with people who are artists and professionals, to learn things that make my personal experience more excellent.

Here, I communicate with people from around the world. THIS i love. I get to share others' photos and have even gotten permission to use one or two.
