My Hobbies...


So, can you guess what I'm thankful for today?  This little number is my camera bag.  At least for now, my equipment is beginning to outgrow my bag...

I have always had a love for photography.  I took classes in High School and learned all the technical boring stuff, but I've always loved creative composition and finding the right light.  I have always felt that for a photo to be a good one, it had to have someone in it, and I still feel that way now.  I may never be a scenic photographer, but I am working on capturing people the best way I can.  I am learning about the things I struggle with, (larger groups, for instance) and the things I love- (children, and brides.)  And though I NEVER thought I could do it- I'm learning and LOVING everything about Photoshop.  I can sit for hours trying new things- with only the internet as my teacher, I think I've done a pretty good job getting to where I am now!  

I am so grateful to have hobbies!  I have more than just photography- but without a creative outlet in my life, I wouldn't be much fun... aren't we all like that?

I wish I knew in High School that I would like to take pictures now! I wish I knew more about my camera, I really need to take a community class...

I am glad that you have so much fun with your hobbies!

RB + RB = RB no matter what way you try to add it up! You got all of our "creative" genes because we don't have a whole lot of others to give away...In case you need a key for the rather difficult formula above--RB = Right Brain :)

I LOVE your pictures! Could we get 5X7 of each family for grandma's wall for Christmas?
