Encounters

Lately I have been thinking about the mark I want to leave on our world. I have decided that this is it. I can't get enough of it. Most days I wake up wanting to photograph my whole world and discover the possibilities of a lens and a camera body. What will my camera encounter that the eyes neglect to see? Can I make the ordinary as beautiful as the extraordinary?

I have decided to join the Champaign County Camera Club (a club for non-professionals who sincerely want to learn more about photography and discover local outlets in which to display art). There are all kinds of workshops and contests. I am astoundingly excited about the possibilities to come.
