Why....that's a good question. I have always loved all kinds of art, but I have never been good at drawing and such so I turned to the computer where I was a little better. I have always loved taking pics....to capture a good moment or a pretty piece of nature. So I put the comp with the photog and had a chance to get a medium digial camera....so I took the plunge. I love nature, so when I capture a pretty flower or something I feel that I have frozen its beauty and when it dies, I can still see the beauty it had. I like doing close up shots, but I don't have a good macro cam. It doesn't like to focus too well. So that makes me experiment with other things and I have some pretty good landscape shots, but my favorite is macro nature. As for strengths and weaknesses....I feel I have mostly weaknesses. So I try to practice and play with settings....don't have a lot of patience for reading (I know I should try though). I like to get out and do it and see the result right away. And there is my long paragraph. :) I am interested to see what other people have to say on this subject. :)
