Years ago I used to think myself a camera buff. I enjoyed the hunt for the perfect photo and fancied myself a decent hobbyist. Many years later I've found myself without a fun and interesting way to spend free time besides my norm and I remembered that at one time I yearned to be a professional photographer. What ever happened to that idealistic young women who thought she could do anything she wanted with her life? Guess what, she is still ALIVE!!!
Just yesterday (Saturday) with no clear goals for the day I decided to go refrigerator shopping. Yup, I do have purpose. There were no refers at the Best Buy that fit my dimensions and on the way out of the store I spied the camera section. DANGER. After turning down just about every sales person in the store trying to make a buck, a quiet kind of young man sided up to me and said, "boy, there are some really nice camera's out these days." That is all she wrote folks, I left the store $1400 poorer with a bag FULL OF CAMERA STUFF!!!!
Off I went, on the hunt for the perfect picture. Time went backward and I was young and idealistic again, with my camera, my dog, a bottle of water and a car full of gas. Five hundred miles later, I managed to shoot a couple of savers, now I have to figure out how to use the thing!!
