One of the many things I have discovered about myself over the last year or two is that I love photography. It has only been recently that I have committed to getting better at it. For some reason I felt it was beyond my scope of capability. But I have taken some pretty good pictures by accident, and so I felt I should try to improve on this. It is a passion I share with my older son. And of course blogging has given me a huge opportunity to play, practice, improve. In a way it's like beading for me: it is an art form that can yield some pretty satisfying results almost immediately, unlike alot of other creative arts which require patience, perseverance, and TIME. A big frustration I've had in the past is feeling the creative urge and trying to nurture it everyday, but running short on that time commodity. It has been important and freeing to find other art forms that allow expression and sometimes quickly. I'm not implying skill is not required. It is, and often I fail miserably there, but once in awhile I get it right. And yes, I am dying for a new camera. I've got my eye on a digital Nikkon, but can't exactly spare the $600.00 right now. Ah well. In time.
I have also become interested in other people's photography. Here is a really fun site, and they have a cool give-away going on right now from allpopart.com
