Baby Steps

It's been about three years since I first picked up my DSLR camera. Mike got it for me for Christmas and it was the best material gift I've ever received. The camera is a tool and when Mike gave it to me, he gave me the confidence to pursue my dream. And it's been slow progress but progress just the same. Steadily , I've learned bits here and there. I've practiced what I've learned the important things and I've learned which rules can be ignored . I've been encouraged by countless people to share my " talent" with others but my own insecurities have stopped me.

Until now.

I'm taking a teeny, tiny baby step. I have listed some of my photos on Etsy.com as digital downloads- people can pay to download and/or print my photos. This wasn't something I decided to do earn money. If I do, that's fantastic. But this is just me sticking my toe in the water, testing it out. It's a tiny step. But it's a step and many steps will follow. Thank you to those who have supported me and encouraged me to push forward. I feel photography in my heart. I see life in photographs. My dream would be share that with others and I am certain I will one day get there.
