Let's get it started...

Well here we are. My first blog which means I am now a 'blogger'. (Are you proud of me Hope?! I now have a blog! and the title has photography in it!!) The reason I took the venture to start this blog is to share some of my photographs and just the everyday happenings in my life. I have spent the last few months of my life learning and absorbing everything that I could about the art of photography. I have taken picture after picture and deleted picture after picture. One of my biggest challenges has been my tendency to pay too much attention to detail and focus too much on getting the perfect picture instead of just letting creativity happen but it is a process and I am learning. I have faith that one day it will click and I will have a style that is mine and heck I might even be able to make some money at it...

My first photo of a flower. It is raw and unedited but I thought I'd share something with you all. Funny story about these flowers. I planted them in the fall of 2006 and they didn't decide to bloom until this year. The funniest part of it is that we've shifted the dirt around so much they are literally popping up in all sorts of random places.
