I have a lot I want to say about the discussion here - but I'm so tired and a little bit shy as well. Syyd - gimme that hand girlfriend. ;) I just want to say that I think this is a wonderful venue for those who are experienced with photography as well as those of us wanting to learn, like myself. Over the past few years, I've spent a small fortune amassing as many stock photography CDs as I could get my hands on. My husband hates it - he doesn't understand how I can just sit and look at pictures for hours. I love black and white photography especially - and like Syyd, I love faces, and for some reason, hands too. I also enjoy wildlife photography - I'm an animal-nut. I've been considering for a while now and finally decided to look into getting a digital camera so I can begin taking my own photos. So, as of right now, I don't really have anything visual to share with you all, but I would like to share my comments and thoughts. Hopefully soon I can join you all further in this. :) Syyd, great photo!! Love the P.N. carrots! ;) Ok, I'm so stupid right now - just too tired! Sorry for the rambling - I'm off to bed!!! Smiles & Hugs to all, Brandi
