I have liked taking pictures ever since I was a kid. My uncle had a studio,
and I would bug him endlessly asking questions, fascinated by the cameras he had.
As an Easter gift in 1072, my mom got me a camera. I was THRILLED! I
mowed lawns and cleaned yards, and got some film with the money. I took pictures
of the street getting repaired, and when they came back from
the processor... I was HOOKED.
Later that same year, my
mom, Tammy, and I went on a
trip to the New Brunswick Bible Institute,
in New Brunswick, Canada... A few months earlier, my mom had gotten me a
camera, a 110 instamatic that was shaped like a "real" camera, that I enjoyed completely... I took pictures
of a place I hadn't been to before, had a GREAT time doing it, and the
rest, as they say, is history.
Now, I'm RARELY without a camera. I average more than 10,000 pictures a year
(nope, not kidding), which is staggering! I enjoy going back, and reviewing them
from time to time... it brings back memories, and it really shows the changes over
the years, when I look back at the pictures of places I've been too more often than
others.
