Right now I'm just working on straight forward photographs, nothing fancy or overly creative. I'm just trying to capture (and recognize) what's in front of me. I'm getting acquainted with a nice digital camera, Photoshop, and Lightroom -- I really like Lightroom. I used to do a lot of photography a long time ago and had a real bohemian streak going. Those days appear to be gone. My goals are a lot simpler now, and a lot less about putting as much of myself into each photo as possible.

Usually I take my camera when I go camping or exploring, but I don't usually think to take it with me otherwise. I need to break that habit. I also need to start finding and exploring places specifically to photograph. I'll get there.

I've poked around DA for years. I'm glad I finally set up an account and started uploading. Mostly I'm glad I started really exploring some of the other photography on here. There's some incredible work to be found. There is also a great community of folks working on the same goals, folks who aren't "great photographers," but are great folks doing very good, very interesting work. I'm finding it very inspiring.
