Anywho, it was actually in high school when I was approached with an extra-credit weather photography project. It was then that the best of both worlds collided! I began my hobby in photography with a Coca-Cola Bear point-and-shoot 35mm camera. Don't be hatin'! That little camera took some of my most favorite pictures. :) After a few years my parents surprised me with a Canon Rebel G2 for my birthday (still film). It actually took me quite a while to make the change to digital, but it was for my own weird reasons. Because film was so expensive to buy and develop for a poor college student, I was super picky about what shots to take. I guess I looked at each frame with more caution before I actually clicked.
Last year Robbie surprised me with a new camera that we both enjoy. I now shoot with a Canon Rebel XTi DSLR with both a 18-55mm and 75-300mm lens. Nothing too crazy, but still super rad for me. I finally upgraded to the digital age. :)
Enjoy!
This picture was taken with my Coca-Cola Polar Bear camera from my front yard: (2002) It's a little fuzzy because I had to scan it in.
Taken with the Rebel G2, so again it had to be scanned in. (2005)
Rebel G2. (2005) An AMAZING view of the belly of a supercell thunderstorm. You can see the shelf cloud perfectly!
Rebel G2. (2005) A beautiful sunset as stratus clouds dissipate.
Rebel XTi. (2008) Cumulus Congestus sunset.
Rebel XTi. (2008) My first attempts to capture lightning. Not too shabby, eh?

Who would have thunk that a Coca-Cola bear camera would take such good pictures... nobody, so one must conclude that it must be the photographer. Hope pictures are a part of your journals. You know they are worth a thousand words. Oh, and BTW (I have been sudying texting, not bad huh...) don't try and take pictures on the day you deliver. Better line up someone now as you will be busy taking care of "Rubik".
What you mean that I won't feel like taking my own pictures that day???? :)
You are probably right... I can see it now, they will be pushing you down the hospital hallway and you will be snapping pics all the way down!!! And when you get to delivery, you will probably be asking the doc to smile... no wait, you will probably be screaming, don't you ever touch me again...
