My New Camera

This year for Christmas I made the largest purchase ever for myself. I am now the proud owner of the Cannon Rebel XTi DSLR camera and I LOVE IT! Over the past three years or so I have fallen in love with photography. I have always loved pictures and especially pictures that capture my little dudes so beautifully.

This is the first time in a very long time that I have purchased something for myself simply because it makes me happy. It seems that life with children is so focused on them that I have lost sight of what I enjoy and what I am passionate about. I am ok with putting the boys and their needs first, but I am not ok losing who I am and what I love. So...I bought a camera.

I am amazed how I feel when taking photographs. There is a part of me that comes alive, part of me that I have been missing for too long now. To say the least, it has been so enjoyable. Given, I have no idea what I am really doing or what half of the terminology is or what it means, but I am learning. I have great friends who are helping me out and the Internet along with several manuals are wonderful. I may even take a photography class or two!

So all the pictures from Christmas along with any pictures posted from here on out will be taken with my new obsession, my camera!
