I just saw my sister-in-law's blog. After more than a year she has put together a rather interesting read. I'm hoping to add at least an entry a week and share my new found love of digital photography.

I purchased a Nikon D80 and instantly saw the power of the SLR over the point and shoot digital cameras. I have had 35mm SLR camera's in the past and loved taking pictures but was always frustrated by the cost of film and processing, and then the limitation of sharing pictures. With computers and the Internet, and the ability to take thousands of pictures for the same price as 1 picture, my passion for photography has returned.

My plan is to post a picture with some information about the shot and let you make comments about the photo. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. Abusive comments are ignored.

I'd like to develop a better sense of what is appealing to others. Composition, lighting, perspective, accuracy, abstraction... there are so many elements to explore.
