I’ve been interested in photography as long as I can remember. I had cameras way back into the 110 film days. LOL I always took pictures on trips, vacations at home of my animals growing up etc. In high school I would have loved to take photography but my mother could not afford it. Once I had my own income from a job I had not time. I still loved taking pictures and bought a film(point and shoot) camera that I had lots of fun with taking pictures of my adorable kitten. Time passed and I had my daughter and became instantly obsessed with learning all I could to get better pictures. :) I drooled and drooled over getting a digital SLR for a couple years. Finally got one in March 2008 and have been learning a TON. I have improved a lot(i think and have been told) but know there is always something to learn.

I’m going to start researching business aspects while I’m continuing to reel in the basics to a consistency of quality. But can’t wait to get tips and ideas here.

Oh and my tools so far are just a Nikon D80 with a 50mm f/1.8. I also have the kit but honestly its only been on about 4-5 times. hehe I’m looking and hoping to get a 85mm and a 35mm at tax time but I desperately need a new computer first so see how that goes then gonna buy some new “toys” And recently have been trying out my dads flash unit and bouncing it off the ceiling to work on that. He has and old Minolta film body with a macro lens that I just have to get some film and play with. EEk Never shot SLR film before.
