Hello from Ohio!

Soraiden · Sep 20, 2005

Hello all!

I've been enjoying lurking for quite some time, but I thought it's my time to contribute a little! I live in Columbus, Ohio, but grew up along Lake Erie, somewhat near Cleveland.

I enjoy so many forms of art... it's often difficult to decide which I am most passionate for!!

Drawing, painting, crafts (that darn little old lady in me

), murals, tattoo design, photography...

Casual photography has always been a great past time, but when I borrowed my parents Canon Rebel last month...I fear I have formed an obsession! Eek! Unfortunately, they reclaimed their camera after my holding it hostage for a month, so now it must be replaced, and SOON

Fun month, none the less... tried taking some "senior photos" for my boyfriend's little sister. Also ventured into the crazyness of PS CS2. I'll find a place to post them around here some where...I could use all the help I can get!

'Casual Photography'... interesting turn of phrase.

Welcome to TPF

Heh..yea, very loosely used, too! By casual, I meant..taking photos of everything when I was little. I used to steal my parent's & grandparents cameras...just to take photos of anything in my path. I have a cedar chest just packed with photos from when I was little...they are always amusing to look back on & try to decipher what on earth I was trying to take pictures of. :lol:

I only have a Canon PowerShot A75... so the borrowed camera has ruined it for me.

Thanks for the welcome

LOL, how nice!

Thanks for the welcomes...

I'd like to get the EOS-1D Mark II N. LOL... ok..um...seriously...the Rebel XT. I believe I might be getting it as an early birthday/Christmas gift. The chances are definitely looking better
