I'll shoot you


I've been interested in photography for a long time. I really enjoy beautiful photographs, and with the advent of digital cameras a whole new world has opened up...for a whole new population of people. I've been playing around with different dSLR cameras lately, and finally purchased the Nikon D40. I loved the more expensive and HD-video making Nikon D90, but it just wasn't in the budget. So the D40 and I are getting to know each other this week.

This is my first official step towards semi-professional photography. I will be second shooting a friend's wedding in five weeks and I'm devouring all the information I can get my hands on regarding technique and tips. I'm enrolled in an introductory class that starts in a few weeks as well.

When I hold that camera in my hand and capture a really great shot, it feels like art...and that has always been addicting to me.
