A work in progress! Hi! My name is Melinda. I am happily married to the love of my life and we have a daughter who is in college. I live in Southern California and I am an amateur photographer. My husband bought me my Kodak P880 for Christmas in 2006. I looked at it and thought I'd never figure it out! I've only taken regular every day snapshots and never looked through the lens in a "creative" way. Then in March 2007 someone introduced me to Renderosity.  In May, I became brave and decided to upload my first photo... I haven't been able to put my camera down since! LOL. I still have a lot to learn, but I sure am having fun doing it. I have come a long way though. This time last year, I couldn't even put a photo on the computer! Now I have started to research DSLR cameras ... Who knows what the future brings! Update: I now have that DSLR :) Was the best Christmas (2008) gift!   I did the research and picked it out and Santa put it under the tree. It's a Canon Rebel Xsi .

I have a new DSLR, the Canon 7OD. A gift from my husband for Mother's Day. So much to explore!

OMG, Melinda, I was wondering what happened to you! It's been seemingly eons since you last reported on this site. My Southern California buddy! Think of everything you've missed! Not only my beautiful classic cars, but also the flowers, etc., which I threw into the mix while you were away. Anyway, lots of wonderful color blends, character and depth in this capture of Oak Creek Canyon.

I'm not sure where in AZ this is but it looks like high desert. Very beautiful and I think I might like to check it out for myself.

It's taking me a while to get into the swing of not satisfying my Renderosity addiction, but now that I have an hour's access, I'm looking back in your gallery and finding all sorts of gems. THIS is one of them. I love the POV here as well as the composition. The water, the rocks, and everything works perfectly! Great shot, and it inspires me to want to write. I've been somewhat at a loss as to what to do while back in Chicago (especially since things aren't as they should be here) but this is a great break from all of that and a reminder that there's a whole world out there. Great work!
