Camera Nerd

After being prodded by a few people that I take lots of pictures, but "Where are they?" I've decided to enter the world of blogging, however a bit reluctantly. Do I have time for one more thing?

I've loved taking pictures since I was a child and was given an old Kodak Junior Six 20 Series II, which I still have. There was something about taking a roll of film to the store and then anxiously awaiting the results.

But digital photography does have its advantages. I've now graduated from my beloved Canon PowerShot S2IS, which had a 12X zoom, to a Nikon D40X SLR camera. I have lots to learn.

Of course, with a new camera comes a new camera bag! After searching far and wide over the Internet for "funky camera bags," I decided on the "Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home Photo Bag." It's not too funky, but different than the standard boring black bag.

Because I bought my camera at Inkleys, I can take advantage of some free classes. I've taken two so far: an intro class and today's: focusing on lenses, composition and flash.
