I'm back and I've got news

Well, a lot has changed since my last post. For one thing I've come to the realization that I will not be returning to work. My health is in such a bad state that it's just not possible for me to hold a job for the foreseeable future. That being the case, I decided I should find something to do with my time so I don't drive my family crazy. Ive always enjoyed photography though I never really put in any time or effort to try to become a better photographer. Last year (2009) I bought a little Canon point and shoot and I started just taking photos whenever I was out and about and I noticed that some of them were really quite nice. In Jan. 2010, I received a Fujifilm Finepix S1500 which had much more user controls and I started taking better photos but I also noticed that there is a lot more to this thing than just pointing the camera at something a pressing the trigger. So I started reading up on photography and Wow, there is so much to learn! But I'm also having so much fun too. Well, a few months ago I bought my first "real" camera, a DSLR. There is so much to learn. and now I found that there is a whole world of post processing I have to learn just to make my photos really acceptable.
Anyway, I really do want to become a good photographer and I know it is going to take a lot of just practice so starting with the new year (2011) I will start post my photos here.
I don't want to just slap an old photo up just for the sake of posting so I am only going to post photos I think are worthy of being seen. At first I will post at least 1 photo every week. If I find after awhile that I can, I will up it to 1 a day. That will probably not get to 1 a day for a while yet though. So that is my plan. I will start Jan. 1, 2011 and who knows maybe someday someone other than myself will actually read this thing! :>) So I'll see ya soon.
