My Nikon

I have always enjoyed taking pictures, always. In the beginning, I was more interested in taking pictures of people and events that I was apart of. If for no other reason than to say that I was there and here's the proof. I had no aspirations to make my portraits do more than speak to the moment. Coincidently, on the other side of the coin, I love to write poetry. I love a good abstract poem. Something to carry my mind from one cliff to another with out the slightest fear of falling. Recently I had an epiphanny. I asked myself, "Why not make your portraits speak abstractly and lead your mind as your poems do?" Give your audience an extension of your poetry in the form of a picture.
So this Christmas when my wife bought me a Nikon Coolpix P100, I knew it was time to elevate my game and take that step towards becoming a more refined photographer.
