I've been interested in Photography for as long as I can remember. I received my first camera, a Minolta X-370, at the age of 13. I've been shooting away ever since. Over the past year or so, Photography has become my true passion.
These days Im shooting with a Canon Rebel X but occasionally I still use my old faithful Minolta... yes, it's still in working order. UPDATE 2002: A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I PURCHASED THE NEW CANON REBEL Ti ALONG WITH 2 SIGMA LENSES, A 28-80mm AND A 70-300mm. CHOOSING A NEW CAMERA WAS A HARD DECISION DUE TO FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS....IT'S NOT MY DREAM CAMERA BUT FOR NOW I WILL ENJOY THIS NEW TOY!
UPDATE 10/03: MY BEST FRIEND HAS GONE DIGITAL. HE PURCHASED A CANON 10D.....THE GREAT THING ABOUT CLOSE FRIENDS......YOU CAN BORROW THEIR "STUFF"! LOL! TO BE HONEST I WASN'T SURE ABOUT DIGITAL. I'VE FELT AS IF USING DIGITAL WAS THE EQUIVALENT OF "CHEATING". NOW THAT I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY TAKE A FEW SHOTS, SEE WHAT THIS BABY CAN DO AND WHAT I CAN LEARN FROM IT, I'VE CHANGED MY MIND. I SURE WISH SANTA WOULD BRING ME A 10D! ;o) IT'S BEEN A GREAT LEARNING TOOL FOR BOTH OF US. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE GIVING DIGITAL A TRY.
I enjoy shooting a variety of subjects. They range from landscapes to architectural structures, animals, nature, still life, abstracts, and people, especially my children. As you'll see from my gallery, Im an old barn lover and a sucker for a good tree image. I currently use both color film and B/W. I'd love to start experimenting with slide film and colored infared.
Unfortunately I haven't had the time, not to mention the funds to aquire any formal training in photography. I've read several good books and magazine articles. I've exchange info with friends, who also share my passion but basically I've learned through trial and error. There are times, when error seems to prevail but I keep shooting away, with a true desire to learn. My goal is to improve my photography to the very best it can possibly be. Full of creativity and emotion. I like things a bit different from the norm. I'd love to learn every aspect of Photography and have a good working knowlege in a variety of areas. I'm very interested in learning how to set up and use a dark room. I hope to take classes in the near future and have considered taking some courses here on BetterPhoto. I would love to have a job someday in photography. It would be a dream come true. I'm not sure I could think of it as work!
I currently live in western Kentucky. I'm a single mom with two beautiful children. Thank you for your interest in my gallery... all comments and suggestions are welcome!
