So It Begins

Back in February of this year, I bought myself a camera.  The purchase of the camera was to basically take better pictures of my kids playing sports.

Well, that has happened, and then some.

I have been trying slowwwwwwlllllyyyyyy to learn what all my camera will do with lots of trial and error. 

I have done lots of reading and have a notebook I carry with me pretty much all the time to have to re-read and remember as much as I can.  I also try to make sure my camera with with me as much as possible even if my kids aren't playing that day.

I began looking for photography challenges to help me learn as I go.  So far, I have found 2 that I have began to take or taken the pictures for, but not submitted them.  I set up this blog as part of my personal photography journey as well as one of the places that I post the pictures that I take for the said challenges.

The photos I am more proud of than others, I want to showcase on the sidebar, but things may change.

To start off, I'd like to show you my submission for photochallenge.org.
