Past and Future

I wish I had more time to focus on my photography! I was able to spend some time today reviewing past experiences. Has photography always been a passion? I have pictures that I took over ten years ago (and for someone who is 23, that's not too bad). Of course, those photos aren’t nearly as professional as the ones I take now but they are still fun to look at. I decided that I enjoy photographing almost anything. I found some great photos in my files on my laptop that I have not looked at since I got Photoshop. After homework is finished, I'll be able to play with those photos. I really have the urge to visit the St. Louis Zoo (on my own) so I can wander at my leisure with my camera. I would love to travel to see animals in their natural habitats but that will come soon enough. I am really looking forward to completing my underwater photography course in Florida this summer. There aren't too many local places to scuba dive but I might be able to get some photos at Haigh Quarry! As I was going through some photo books I found a quote in a photography lesson by the New York Institute of Photography, "We start by loving the camera. We end by loving the art."
