P is for photography
I have always loved to take pictures… even back in my youth with a 110 camera. I saved money I made on a paper route and babysitting to buy myself a SLR camera. And when I was at my worst depression, talking pictures while walking in nature was a sort of therapy for me. Just call me a shutterbug.
For a while I did a weekly Monochrome Monday picture as I really enjoy the dramatic effect of black and white photography. I take surprisingly few portrait pictures, but the best ones I take are usually the ones not planned. But I do not consider myself too good with them and take better pictures of animals I think.
By far the subject of choice is flowers. Even if I get a bouquet of cut flowers I usually focus in on one or two of the blooms.

My next challenge is saving up and getting a DSLR and lots of memory cards to store pictures on. Say cheese!

Welcome!
Photography can be so much fun. Interesting read.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I remember 110 cameras! The squirrel is a chubby little critter, isn’t it? Cute.
Thanks! Cleaning out my Dad’s house we found a dozen or so 126 film cases that need to be developed…and two rolls of slide film too. Wonder if any of the pictures will turn out?
Oh wow! I’d be curious to know. Wonder if you can find labs that develop film still. Keep me posted if you remember.
I’ve been told to check with Walgreen’s actually… maybe this next week I will.
