Where to begin....
How about here, my first camera (circa 1985)...
It makes me laugh to think about the HUGE flash that had to be attached to the top. I think I took about a million pictures of zoo animals with that thing. I guess you could say this camera is responsible for my passion for photography today. I have always loved taking pictures and looking at old pictures. Pictures can be so powerful. They have the ability to make us smile, laugh out loud, sigh, and even cry. Photography is my creative passion. The whole process (from composing the shot, to editing, to see the finished product) makes me giddy. Sometimes I get a feeling that I just have to take pictures, it doesn't matter what, I just need to feel my finger on the button and hear my camera in action. It is like seeing the world with new eyes. But there is another side to my life. Accounting. I find great pleasure in this as well. This is my 8-5, and it is also the structure in my life. This is the organized, analytical side where spreadsheets and databases rule!! The two sides together give me a feeling of balance. And each gives me a break from the other. This is my yin and my yang
Now the run down on my life so far....
I grew up in a medium size town in West Texas, graduated at the top of my class, went to a small Baptist university ( I will admit that there were some detours on the way, but I made it out the other end with a degree in Finance), moved to the big city, landed a sweet job with a large corporation, and now I am trying to turn my hobby into something a little bit bigger.
I have two dogs, a boyfriend of five years, and a supportive family, all of which are my life and might go blind from my flash before long.
Hope I didn't bore anyone too much :-)
