Photography

I have always enjoyed taking pictures and when in the right mood tend to be a picture taking fool. I have boxes and boxes of pictures.

I don't tend to like to be on the opposite end of the camera often. Possibly because I feel my pictures never come out looking good. Some people are very photogenic and not matter what they look like, what they are doing or wearing they always seem to take a good picture.

I on the other hand can take 10 pictures and if I am lucky 1 or 2 might come out descent.

With technology being what it is now digital camera make that a good possibility for me but yet again I am the one who sets up my shot and that is very hard to have to the the camera position, self timer ready, get in position and not look flustered.

I never got the chance to get into really learning about taking pictures and developing film (I still would if I get the chance) I like taking non posed pictures. You get a much better story behind the picture than if you say "Okay now, smile and say cheese"

Again this is part of finding who I am and what will make me happy.
I've been saying to myself you need to start bringing your camera more often but never do. I have an awesome 35mm camera that I still want to get the telephoto lens for (I have to remember to put that down on my Christmas list)

Last night I took plenty of pictures of Mike and Jon just playing pool. At first it started out like the typical picture taking but then I started getting a bit more artistic. My digital also has some neat effects like shooting in BW or Sepia, Blue or you can have a frame around the picture right when you take it so many things I was trying out. I shot some real good pictures which as soon as I can get them downloaded to a computer I will be posting. IF I don't post them on my blog I will post a website you can go to to check them out.
