ODC 129 The way out

Since my point and shoot got run over shooting yesterday's challenge (I was just kidding!), I had to buy a new camera! Seriously, Cathlon already said it for me when she posted her picture of a book, camera and computer. 2012 was a very stressful year for me, and by the end of the year I was exhausted. At the beginning of the year I discovered Flicker and this group, and it awakened a latent interest in photography. I have been suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome for years and have been gradually watching my ability to participate in all my creative outlets fade away. Words cannot express how exciting it is for me to have found this new creative outlet, one that fits my energy levels. Photography and this wonderful group have truly been a way out for me; a way out of my boredom, depression, and creative funk. I really, truly feel that I have been given a new lease on life. When I am taking pictures and editing, I am being energized and renewed. So thank you, Yvonne, for starting this group, and thank you everyone else for making it such a warm, friendly, supportive and challenging place!

 

This is my new camera. I finally got that new DSLR I've been wanting. Hopefully I"ll soon be taking pictures WITH it instead of OF it!
