The First Day

This is my first blog. I'm not sure how well I will do with it, but I needed a place to write about the things I am doing as well as post some of my pictures. I am some what a new mom. I have a daughter that just turned one on January 30th. She takes up most of my time. With the few hours that I have left, I try and spend them with my husband or friends. I really enjoy community theatre so you will find me participating in different productions much of the time. I am also becoming enamored with photography. I got a new camera for my last birthday, a Nikon D40. It is an entry level hobby camera but I am enjoying it and am taking a class at a local community college in hopes of learning, and possibly mastering its features. The class began a week ago and we have a shooting assignment every week this last week we started out with doing portraits. This week we are concentrating on landscapes. I was super excited this week because I figured out how to capture movement of some water at a nearby park. I hope that someday I can look back and marvel at how far I have come as a photographer. Until then it is baby steps. I guess I will just have to learn from my child...it takes a long time and patients to learn how to do something new that you have never done before!
