[quote=photogrl57]Welcome to Day 211 :) Today it's all about Why You Became A Photographer.
Good Day Sherrie I started back in the 6th grade when my dad taught me how to develop B&W film. i had a twin lens reflex shot roll film. I tend to document what i see, where I have been. I loved the darkroom manipulating prints with light and shadow. Pushing tri-x to its limits. I did some PP way back with the first photo programs but never go really good at it. Just one today from the ny\pa border where I grew up.
I wish I had known about Pano when I took it
The top of that ridge is PA. I planted that row of evergreens
PG57 that cats eye is great

Welcome to Day 211 :) Today it's all about Why You Became A Photographer. I just kind of stumbled my way into it. Bought a camera and took pictures. It wasn't until this forum that I even remotely became interested in knowing how my camera worked. I have found that there are so many moments in life that need to be documented.
Here are just a few. I look forward to seeing what drives y'all.
Kinda like freeze a moment in time.....preserve, share,recall....Things of beauty,unusual creations,growing phases of children,monumental occasions along life's way,relish life's exposures. I guess that's why.I've always been called an artist of sorts :lol:
Went to the first reunion of the Johnson/Peterson Family yesterday. Peterson is my maiden Name. At the church my grandfather John was a founding member of in the late 1800s.So I'll share a few of those frozen in timers!

Morning SHERRIE...so glad to see you... one day leads to two...Im pretty certain now you will feel better every day....
Geez this might be the toughest one yet since Im not really sure. And I have a zillion pics from before digital that I have not scanned...hmmmmmm and can not access anyway since the electricity went out last night and the house network is not reconnected.
Like MG...I have been with camera since very young...as I recall I EARNED MY FIRST KODAK instamatic by collecting BAZOOKA JOE bubble gum comics and sending them in for my prize.
In my 20's when we still took film for developing, a shop owner asked me to submit a pic to a contest and it took second place and I won an automatic camera kit...long story short I traded it for a vivitar slr....which I used mostly to record travel and family pics.
at 53 I took early retirement from a long career serving the public, in mental health, corrections and finally education...kinda burnt out...when I finally shook myself out of it i picked up my camera a digital olympus point and shoot...and one thing led to another and next thing I knew my photos were selling in a local garden center and I was doing photojournalism in magazines...heheheheh HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
Finally I found you all here and my skills have improved so much just since JAN 1...AND SHERRIE has enlightened me to photoshop and well this is what i think i want to show you today.
I can clone...heheheheheheheh
I know I showed you all this but not sure Sherrie saw it.
Im not afraid of PHOTOSHOP ANY MORE and learned how to sign my pics
Morning SHERRIE...so glad to see you... one day le... (

I am happy to see you start us out today, although RiverNan did a great job while you were in your private time.
I started taking pictures with a Kodak film camera when I was twelve years old. My aunt gave it to me to document the small trips we made.
My reasons for taking pictures changed as I grew aware of the beautiful moments in life and hoped folks would see them as I through the lens of the camera.
My dear, patriotic husband with tears of reverence in his eyes
