My first love

Today I've decided to open up a little and tell you about my first love...no not the high school guy that stood me up for Prom (he's definitly not on my list!) or my wonderful husband who deals with my crafty craziness everyday. This love goes back a long time ago to when I was a five year old little girl just wanting to do what her father loved to do....taking pictures.

I remember my dad having a Mamiya, dual lens camera which to me was fascinating because you had to look down into the camera to take pictures. He would often let me hold the camera, with his help because it was heavy, and "waste" film taking pictures of people, places & things. This is to be a love affair that will last the rest of my life....or at least up to now that I sit here writing this.

Needless to say that I moved on to attend a High School that specialized in Photography, studied it in College and have often made ends meet with it. Now I've decided to share some of my pictures with you and please, by all means, let me know what you think. And yes! I still have my dad's camera, although these pictures were taken with my Canon Rebel 35mm.

This series of pictures I took on my trip to England & Ireland. They feature Stonehendge, The Tower of London, Tower Bridge and the Cememtery in Glendalough. Want a copy of one of them, just stop by my Etsy shop.
