I have had an interest in photography since childhood but have not been able to explore the possibilities until recently. A few years ago, my husband bought me a digital SLR as a gift and I’ve been obsessed ever since. The more I photograph, the more I want to photograph. Every time I shoot, I learn something new. The only limit to the possibilities is the lack of time (if only I didn’t have to work for a living!).
I enjoy all types of photography, but my heart is with landscapes and infrared. Someday I'd like a second camera so that I can have my 20D converted to a dedicated IR camera.
