New Blog

This will be a really quick post as it's late and I'm very sleepy. But I had to spread the news!

Lately I had been feeling like starting a new blog. One with more focus than this one which, great as it is for writing ramblings and updates, is otherwise quite directionless. But I had no idea what to do this blog on.

Then it came to me.

I'll have a real, live photography blog!

So I got it all set up, and I'm ready to tell other people about it. The idea is that I share what I have learned about photography with other people. See, I've found that a lot of people feel that photography and taking nice photos is completely out of their realm, and that dSLRs are beyond them and will be evermore, but that is simply not true. I don't feel like it has taken much for me to learn to take better photos, and while I don't feel that my photos are that amazing, I KNOW they're a lot better than they were a year ago, and worlds better than 2 years ago.

So my blog will be a record of my photography-learning experience, so that others can look back on my journey and learn with me, and also realize that they can do it too, because, hey, look at what my photos USED to be compared to now.

I know I'm rambling as I am wont to do, but seriously, here's my inspiration. Not the current page of photos that this amazing photographer takes, but rather the knowledge that, just more than 2 years ago, she was at my level. Really! There's not one single photo on that page that I don't think I could take. And if she can go from that to what she is capable of today in just 2 years, then I can too.

My other motivation for starting this other blog is that it will be a good starting off point for when I actually open my own photography business. I know I'll do it someday, once I feel more confident that my photos will turn out the way I intended them. Right now I feel that it's hit and miss. But I'll get there. Hopefully soon!

Anyway, here's the link to my new photog blog (and no, that's not a typo. Just try saying it. Isn't "photog blog" way funner to say than "photo blog"?)

If you do go to the website, start at the intro. It'll make a lot more sense if you start there.

So, enjoy!
