One of my long-time interests has been photography. It may have started back in high school when I took a 4-week mini course - that was back in the dark room days when we printed our own photos in sinks full of chemicals and hung them to dry, hard to imagine nowadays. By college, I had a beloved Nikon 35 mm film camera with a 17x200 mm zoom lens - it was never more than an arm's length away from me and for years I took pictures of everything around me: kids, animals, architectural details, nature, you name it. But somewhere around my mid 20's, life got busy and that beloved Nikon was in it's case more than it was out - and by the time I was 30, the photography world had shifted to digital and I felt like my hobby had passed me by. Fast forward a decade and momma's back in action ...
Throughout my 30's, all I ever did with our nice camera was a once/year portrait session of our kids to be used for our Christmas card. Each year I'd play with the settings or use a different lens ... and sure enough my old camera mojo came back: I started getting great results and our Christmas card photo was getting better each year. It got to the point where this past Fall I decided to get an SLR camera of my very own - no more joint custody! It's a Canon Rebel xsi and it was love at first sight ... by Christmas I was asking Santa for extra lenses and the Rebel's been attached to my eye ever since. I guess old habits really do die hard. Look out world ...
