 My Latest Posted Photos (click for larger image)

I'm a beginning photographer. I've been interested in the idea of photography all my life, but I never had the patience for film photography. The delay between taking the pictures and seeing the pictures is just too long. It's incompatible with the way I learn to do things.

Digital photography has changed all that, and I've spent the last year fooling around with a Konica-Minolta point-and-shoot.

Now, at the beginning of 2006, I've decided to get serious about learning the craft of photography. I've spent an insane amount of money on a digital SLR (and lenses and memory and lighting and filters and and and...) I'm carrying the camera everywhere, and once I get comfortable using it, I'm going to start some projects.

By training and trade, I'm a software developer. It's due to some recent good fortune in that field that I can afford the camera equipment.

Know how much you like pictures - thought you would like to see this (these were moving and his other pictures reminded me of the detail you put in your work):

My mother's side of the family is originally from Minnesota. Here is my aunt's email to me:
=======
This is the bridge that took us from one relative to another when we go to Minnesota. Carol is a grade school friend - her friend took these pictures. These pictures are better than the Media has. Wonder what the detours will be. Love, Di
