My First Post

For a long time I have wanted to become a better photographer. I enjoy looking at pictures and believe they are one of the most precious things we can pass down. Pictures are a snapshot in time that in most cases can't be re-produced. I cringe when I see one of my kids (or anyone else) ruining a picture.

About a month ago I took the plunge and traded in a few years worth of AMEX points for a good pro-sumer DSLR camera (Nikon D5000). It was on its way to being replaced by a new model and I got a very good deal on it. I quickly learned that taking good photos is as much (if not more) a function of the photographer as it is of the camera. My wife treated me to a few lessons (by my Breslover Yoga teacher) and I am now on my way to my new hobby.

I created this blog mostly as a place for me to post some of the pictures I am taking and share my progress. I don't expect many people to read it but hey... why not.
