Back in the day, (high school) I loved dabbling with photography. I would wander around with my borrowed Yashica 360, looking for interesting things to shoot. Then it was off to the darkroom (there was one in my school I could use) to see what I'd come up with. I worked almost exclusively in black and white because it was a LOT easier and cheaper to develop in black and white than color. I've also always liked that moody, “Movie Noir” look of monochrome.
That was then. This is now. A few months ago, a dear friend and I had a short twitter conversation about photography and it reignited my interest. So MUCH so, that I decided to trade my 45 pistol for a Canon DSLR and I'm glad I did. Here are the first couple of things I did with it.... Turns out that I'd rather shoot pictures than people.
There's a bit of a learning curve here, and I'm sure I'll get better at it as time goes om. The main thing is that I'm having fun with it.
I am so happy to see you getting back into your interest and having some fun! I absolutely love photography. I don't have the talent to actually be a photographer I am more the person who loves to gawk at the photographs. I really look forward to seeing more shots coming soon.

Thanks mystic!
DeleteIt's been so long since I've done anything like this that it's like I'm learning all over again. I also think that if you have a love for something, you *DO* have the ability to do it... IMHO :-D
