"Starting from the ground up..."

Starting off my tour of National Parks in

Shenandoah National Park, VA

No, I didn't see any black bear : (

The First of Many

Well, it's been a buuuuusy couple of weeks.  I won't bore you with too many details, but feel free to ask; we'll catch up!  Of note in my photo-taking life - I sold my dear, old Canon 30D for an upgrade. :D

Hopefully this transitional time will afford me some opportunities to break it in, because, honestly, there are a lot of new buttons on this thing...  Haha.  Learn how to use it, aaaand get around to posting things.  I'm still kind of hesitant to post anything before I really know how to use it, but here are some of the first shots I took.  Things seem quicker and easier, that's for sure.  Here's to things to come - photo-wise and life-wise!

Look out, real world.
