Getting Started

As I ponder where to start, I realize I'm about to expose my ignorance.  Why - when there are so many wonderful books, web articles and how-to videos - have I spent years fumbling around trying to teach myself PS Elements?  Why - when my camera has so many settings - do I primarily leave it on "auto"?

This is not a new hobby of mine. I've been interested in photography for as long as I can remember.  I latched onto digital as soon as it became available.  The instant gratification along with the ability to manipulate my own images was something this control freak just couldn't resist!  So why it has taken me this long to get to the point where I'm ready to reach out and learn more, I really can't say.  I just know I'm excited to step out of my comfort zone, set some goals and get crack'n!

I'm Feeling Lucky...

So today I decided to start a blog.  And today I was also treated to this double rainbow.  I'm choosing to take this as a very good sign.
