I'm trying my hand at photography...

I have always been very interested in photography. I remember being younger and LOVING Anne Geddes' photos of babies. I had her books and calendars too. I started really enjoying taking pictures when we got Hannah but recently I have been VERY inspired by some of these sites: We Picture This Rawsii , A Thousand Words . I feel really strongly that I need to pursue this passion and see where it goes. All these pictures were taken with our Olympus Stylus 800 and edited with I-Photo. I am eager to see what I can accomplish with a better quality camera and some lenses. Wish me the best! :0)


























If you have any helpful hints for me on cameras, lenses, classes, editing tools... I'd be very appreciative. :0)
Until then...

  4. Thanks Kodi! I found a great deal at fotoconnection.com for a Nikon D90 and a 50mm 1.4 lens. It's about about a $600 savings compared to Best Buy. :0) I'm so glad I had the opportunity to "shadow" you. Any more good buys for props? :0)
