Canon PowerShot A610

I got my first digital camera in 1999, my second in 2006. By the time I get my next camera I'll know exactly what it is that I need :-) Photography gives me an artistic outlet. I try my hand at most styles but I've discovered that I love creating Macro, Abstract and Minimal themes. Finding objects which normally go unseen then exposing their beauty is my passion. "The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust". ~Elizabeth Bowen "A line will take us hours maybe; Yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought, Our stitching and unstitching has been naught." ~W.B. Yeats "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but my the moments which take our breath away". ~George Carlin "Sometimes a photograph offers the photographer a gift he didn't expect, a marvelous detail - what the eye longing for meaning sees unconsciously, and includes. How wonderful it is that the decision to take a photograph is mysterious - giving us, like love, more than we bargained for". ~John Rosenthal "Every artist was first an amateur". ~Ralph Waldo Emerson "A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety". ~Ansel Adams "Life is like photography. You use the negatives to develop". ~Anonymous "Art is never finished, only abandoned". ~Leonardo da Vinci
