start taking pictures again

I bought a great DSLR camera. That should help.

and took it with me on the cruise. I didn’t have much room on the memory card, but deleted some old pictures and took some new ones. Ms. Photographer is back!

it’s got to be in the house somewhere, unless… my ex-boyfriend made off with it. One way or the other, I will start taking pictures again soon! There was an incredible glow on the snowy mountaintops this afternoon as the sun got ready to set. Wish I could have captured it on film!

I have misplaced my digital camera, which I used last on a cruise with my parents following a divorce. My life and confidence were rather unraveling at the time, and I think I literally did not want to preserve any images at that time. It felt like I was in a fog and could not see how the future would unfold for me. I’ve come a long way, baby, and have my confidence back and then some. Life is good and I appreciate the beauty around me. I went to Ireland last summer without my camera, taking pictures on instant single use cameras. But I miss using the memory card, seeing the shot in the viewfinder and reviewing it afterward, and saving the shots I really like. My camera should be here somewhere!

I’ve been taking some snapshots lately, and I think I’m rekindling my love for photography. I don’t have my old sense for exposure or composition, (plus I’m using a digital camera for the first time), but I’m sure it’ll all come back.

Got my camera… and now taking pictures of most anything. Even my vegetarian lunch.

Just sent off a money order to pay for a new digital camera. No, it’s not an SLR, but it’s a start – or a re-start. It’ll feel good to get shooting again.

I’ve already set up a photo blog! http://todaysnewphoto.blogspot.com

I expect the camera to show up in about 15 days – that would be somewhere between May 8th and May 10th!
