It's been just over eight years since I joined this community at the age of eleven. Yes, eleven! (with parental supervision) At the time I knew nothing about photography (and still I don't), but I had a burning passion for it. I spent hours a day wandering outside, lying flat on my stomach in the dirt taking closeups of flowering weeds, of anything and everything I saw. But I didn't actually know anything about the mechanics of a camera. I would simply point and shoot and hope for the best. As I grew older my passion grew fainter. Now that I have the means to learn, I find I don't have the time. Somehow my love for taking pictures seems to have dwindled. I've found other ways of expressing myself. But when I come here, I feel eleven again. I feel like maybe I should dig out my camera some days. Even if I only use my phone, maybe I should take a shot, and capture my feelings.
