This weekend my friend invited me to the Salt Lake Photo Safari. Sounds cool no? We didn't really know what it was, but once we got there I realized I was way out of my league. Everyone had really nice big cameras with telephoto lens and tripods, etc. and I had my little dinky point-n-shoot digital camera. We didn't end of staying very long needless to say. It was all a bit over our heads. I also was a bridesmaid this weekend for my now former roommate and she had a photographer there all day as well and I asked him a little about photography and began to realize that to get "good" would take many hundreds of dollars and a lot of time.
So until I get more money and a good teacher, I will have to be content with my my little Panasonic digital and rely on my own ingenuity to take good pictures. What I love to take photos of are nature/plants and architecture, especially interesting textures and shapes. So without further adieu here are some selected photos from this week by a wanna be:
And here is the winning picture that I talked about before. It was taken in Buesa, Spain.

I hear you! I would love to have some classes and a really great camera, but my almost-four-year-old Nikon point and shoot is going to have to do for now.
I think you have a great eye, and that your pictures are very beautiful.
You didn't take those pictures - did you?!!!
Oh yes i did my little turtle friend. I think I'm going to start posting a photo of mine a week on the side bar.
Really? You did?! Well they are great! AWESOME!!! Can you teach me? :) I finally got a new camera - so I'm going to go try it out, maybe tomorrow - so be ready for it :)
Your ingenuity is impressive.
These really are great pictures. I like the kid on the steps and how you forced the focus on the steps and his body; not his facial expression, which is what we'd naturally view first.
