When I first began to think about the notion of writing personally, and then actually sharing it publicly--I quickly dismissed it. After all, I have my public forums for sharing my work professionally and I kept wondering in the back of my mind if I really wanted to have my photos and thoughts actually out there for people to see. I mean, being a public person in the professional realm is one thing, but actually sharing a personal part of myself and my photos and deciding to do that is quite another. Isn't it?

2) I received the surprise of my life in the form of an early birthday gift on 1/15/13 that I wasn't expecting, but one that would enable me to fuel the budding flames of passion for my photography hobby--a new Canon EOS Rebel T3i camera--complete with 3 lenses (EFS 18-55mm; EFS 55-250mm and EF 75-300mm)--that would provide me with the capability to capture the details that I was seeing along my journey and allow me to share them with you. So thanks so much Earl (you absolutely ROCK!!!)--I truly appreciate the gift and dedicate my first foray into the world of photo-blogging to you.
