I can do that....

So my brother got married YEA! It was a gorgeous wedding on a VERY windy day. It was nice to see everyone and see my brother happy, that was the nicest thing.

I was sitting there watching something other then the wedding for awhile though, I was watching the photographers sitting there thinking " I can do that" I KNOW that taking pictures is a bit more complicated then pointing and shooting, but it looked like SOO much fun. Everyone is happy when taking pictures of a wedding and it looked like so much fun. I got to thinking HEY, I can be a photographer. You may be thinking "Huh?" But really, I feel as though I can really get into this. My uncle photographed our wedding and did an AMAZING job, while I am far from being on the same playing field as him, I feel as though I can get there with practice and the right equipment.

So after a lengthy car ride with my mom and multiple stops to take pictures of mailboxes (Yea, we are going to make a mailbox poster) I decided that I want to get a nice SLR digital camera, the quest was on. Now, for everyone who knows me I am not the most patient person and when I want something I want it NOW whether it be a camera, a haircut or a piece of chocolate when the urge hits I NEED IT NOW. So by Wednesday I am a proud owner of a D40 X Nikon camera, I am in love!!! I can just see myself now taking the action shots, that make people smile and cry. I want to be the photographer that people call to take pictures of their family, wedding, birthday party etc. Dare to dream I know, but I really feel that if nothing else this can be a hobby for me. Granted I have had my camera for what not even 24 hours, but I FEEL the photography juices running in my blood.

Well, we shall see.. I am off to read about my new camera...More to come.
