Welcome
to my new photo journal.
Recently,
I was the proud (and super excited) winner of a new Canon EOS Rebel T3i digital
camera. To put it lightly, I am a picture junky. Not a photographer...just a
picture junky. I have countless albums that literally chronicle my entire life.
My family will testify that I am the one with the camera at all the gatherings
and I tend to have a new camera every few years or so. However, THIS camera is
way out of my league. Just this past Christmas, I remember glimpsing it online
as I moved past it to the more modestly priced cameras in my search for a new
point-and-shoot Nikon. I would never have paid such a price for what will be,
at most, a hobby. But now….it’s mine. Mwaaahaaahaa!
When I
brought it home, I promptly put it together, got out the manual, started
reading, and pushing lots of buttons. Day 2 had me on a search for my first
subject. I was ready to get started. After about 30-50 attempts to
snapshot my energetic little boy, I decided to turn my attention towards the
cats. I found them much more patient with my fumbling with the camera. Here's
what came out...

Then Saturday morning came. With my son still in his pajamas, he climbed on my husband’s lap and asked him to read a book. It took a while for my brain to turn back on after my heart melted but once that happened I sprinted for the camera and grabbed these nice shots.
