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!

I've read Dune one too many times, I think, because when I saw the title to this shot, I immediately expected to see Paul--Muad'Dib--Atreides riding a giant sandworm. I wonder about me at times. Well, after realizing that you weren't making a trip to Arrakis and photographing Fremen warriors ("desert power") I started exploring this photograph, and I have to say that I love it. Even if there aren't any sandworms. Oh well. Your POV is spot-on-perfect and I suspect that if I were in a passenger seat going by this scene, I'd nab it too. Brilliant work. I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother and my thoughts are with you. I'm sure you have all sorts of wonderful memories and so hold on to those.
