Well, if I said "all kind" it would sound pretty daft. I like people, but not while they posing. While they going about whatever they doing. And I love the outdoors. I am trying to figure out what I do! How is your daughter learning ASL? Is she an interpreter? Is she teaching? Are you all in Oregon?
If i understood correctly ASL does not help a lot either? I do know some ASL if it is helpful, and I am in Oregon,but that is a mighty big place. Narrow it down a little, where?

Buckeye. Great to read of your involvement. Remember, if only the birds with the most beautiful songs were the ones to sing, the forest would be a very quiet place and we would miss the chorus. Look forward to reading more from you. Go Buckeyes.

buckeye, i think that your history of determination is the key here...you will succeed with your photography. since groups can be frustrating for you, perhaps keeping a journal of your camera settings can show you what works and what doesn't. even though it's a trial and error method, it's one that is tried and true. good luck with your photography. if i find something amazing that works, i will post it for you. mary

Hello Buckeye, Your post is very inspiring. Have you ever considered combining poetry with your photography? I am a photographer and I also write poetry. I find that photography and poetry go together well because they both deal in images. You have a wonderful attitude and your determination is amazing. Remember that there are only 3 things that you can do with a camera, focus, shutter speed and f stop. Using your camera on auto could be a solution for you. Your post is not negative at all, you are an inspiration to us all.

Hey Buckeye, on this list we are all with you, we are ALL deaf, because none of us are hearing anything from this list, we are all reading it. So you are, we are, all in good company together.

Oh Thanks, but don't feel bad about my ears! I am Deaf so long I can't remember what hearing is like. So i don't miss it! Have you seen "Deaf Artists in America; colonial to comtemporary" 400+ pages, by Deborah M. Sonnenstrahl? A totally photography biography is one of my favorite: Maggie Lee Sayer who has a wonderful book she called "Deaf Maggie Lee Sayer; Photographs of a River Life" (1995) Sonnenstrahl's book is awesome (she was my art history prof at Gallaudet) and I have a copy of Sayer's book also--It's terriffic! She always called herself Deaf Maggie Lee Sayer!Sorry about your ears - the loss of one strengthens others, you're eye may allow you an advantage. Photography is the light - not sound. As the British say stiff upper lip. an American said if life gives you lemons ---- Beethoven was deaf. Go for it.

About ASL, it is our total language. For many of us it is who and what we are. For others of us it is still that, but English, or whatever language, is to some degree part of us. It depends.

Camera settings are the "Shutter Speed" equals how fast the shutter clicks or snaps the picture; F-Stops are how wide open your aperture or the hole in your camera lens is. Most lens will have the numbers printed on them like 2.8, 5.6, 8.0., 11.0, 16.0, 22.0. The lower the number example 2.8 the more light comes into your lens because its a bigger hole for the light to come through. The higher the number like 22.0 the smaller amount of light will come through because the hole is small. You can also use the automatic settings on your camera for easier use. When on automatic you can spend more time looking at how your picture is set up while worrying less about the other settings. Its a little hard to explain here in full because there is a lot involved. I would just take my camera out and practice taking pictures as often as I could and see what looks good to you and try to remember what your camera setting was so you can do it again. Good luck!
