my first pictures EVER

I really like playing with aperture and that was what I mostly tinkered with at the start.



I was so excited. Darren found the camera I wanted on a fantastic deal and brought it home as a surprise for me. I was really shocked. I did not think I would be getting a SLR for many years. I have entires in my journal from when I was 10 where I recorded my desire to be a photographer. Darren has given me the tools I need to start working towards this dream I have always had. I love that he believes in me and that he gives me wings to fly. I have become obsessed with everything about photography. I am talking to everyone I can and reading every book from the library I can get my hands on. I talk Darren's ear off about shutter speeds and aperture and he listens and listens. Everything about it makes me really excited. I feel like a toddler just learning the basics. I can't wait to learn more and grow and progress. I wish I was a champ now, but I know that takes time. So hear are a few pictures. Let the learning begin!

I have to give a big thanks to a few people have really helped me start out.
