I came, I saw, I snapped

Here's my first entry in my chronicles of being a Photog Wannabe. Does anyone else out there use the word "photog" in reference to photographers besides me? I picked that up on the cruise ship that I used to work for... that's what we called those people who stalk the passengers and make them take pictures in front of buoys and stuff and then try and sell the prints at ridiculous prices.

I digress...
I love photography. I love taking pictures. I'm poor. OK, maybe not "poor" by some people's standards, but I certainly can't afford a nice camera. I use a point and shoot Olympus that I got about 3 years ago. That being said, in that time I've learned to finesse every ounce of greatness from that little guy. Sometimes I have to coax the greatness out using words of encouragement or a quick tap on back, but all in all, it hasn't failed me yet.

So this is my little world of me thinking I'm a good photog (and yes, I will be using the word "photog" almost exclusively here in place of photographer). I'm a Photog Wannabe... and I'm ok with that.
