ShawnXian's Most Interesting Photos on Flickriver
Photography has always been a secret love of mine. Too much of life has passed without me pursuing this love.....
The following was written when I first started flickr. A great deal happened along the way that prevented me from pursuing this secret love of mine. As soon as my feet are back on the ground I will involve myself much more deeply in photography! Wish me luck!!!

Strangely enough, life presented me with an unexpected opportunity.
The reason I now have a Nikon D70s is because of the website listed below. (Not an ad, just a testimonial to serendipity.) For quite some time I have been frustrated and have been craving and craving a camera with more control than my Canon PowerShot S230, (hadn't been able to afford one, unfortunately).
So imagine my surprise and gratitude to find out that because my little company had the good fortune to sell a lot of Motorola product I was *given* a DSLR camera! I didn't even know what it was until it arrived!
Imagine that.
Unbelievable, but a real dream come true!
Now I am slowly trying to figure out how to use it. I would like to take classes, but don't know if I can.... We'll see. Step-by-step. (I still hope to be taking classes in the future!)
Oh, and speaking of step-by-step, I am friend of Bill W.

Shawn's photos are fantastic! Her macros of flowers are simply breathtaking. She tells a story that you want to know much more about with her photos and captions. I love her cat photos and have even grown fond of the neighborhood Bully. I appreciate having her as a flickr friend.
