pho·tog·ra·phy: the art or process of producing images by the action of RADIANT ENERGY

THIS is why I should never run late for work, or or even just be on time - talk about radiant!

It's inevitable that something simplistically or magnificently gorgeous, unusual or wonderfully so will catch my eye as I'm en route to one place or another. There's not always alot of opportunity for choice composition - many times, I'm hard pressed to find a place to pull over; and I admit I've even stopped IN the street on occassion - but our little point & shoot Canon has helped me document quite a few moments of wonder, and nicely.

I've started carrying the camera in my bag, in hopes of having it more consistently available; but there've been multiple occassions when I grabbed minimal accessories for a quick trip here or there, and been pained to find myself without it. I'm getting better, but hope to make its companionship second nature and create a healthy photo repertoire of my life and loves.

I've ebbed and flowed with my interest in photography. I took a class in college, have found varying subject matters of interest, preferred black & white over color - then abandoned preference, and even went through a phase where I found photos of people disturbing. What I'd really like now is a great zoom and ability to manipulate light. I'd also love to explore marrying my kinship with birds and this creative outlet.

And I'd like the days' 24H to start when I get up.
