Take more pictures

I got a digital camera for Christmas and normally I am not a big picture taker, espeically having to ask someone to not be in the picture and instead take the picture. But I have made an online photo album and would love to add more than the three albums I have to it. I take my camera out, but am not good at taking the best pictures. At least I am trying to capture memories, especially the memories of sitting around and being lazy.
