always learning...

around the end of last year i purchased myself a new camera. this baby here. it's my first delve into the world of DSLR (can we say late to the party!), and i'm in love! it was recommended to me a by photographer friend as a great camera to start out with, seeing as i wasn't ready to commit to a more hefty priced one. since having it, i've become obsessed with practicing. i know they say the only way to really become one with your camera is to shoot, shoot, shoot! so that's just what i've been doing. oh penny, i hope you appreciate it, 20 years from now, when you see that i've got every moment of your life documented. 

with every new thing i learn, there is the desire to know more though. i don't just want to capture moments, i want them to be as beautiful as i see them as well. that's where clickin moms came in for me. i'm now hooked on their site. i've been reading every blog post, and am thinking about becoming a member so that i can get in on the forum posts too. are any of you fine folks members? it can be a little nerve wracking to put yourself out there when you're only just learning something. but that's certainly no reason to hold back, amiright?!?!
