For as long as I can remember, I've always loved being in pictures and taking them. Freshmen year in college I got in photography. I have yet to get a digital SLR, but my little Olympus compact has been holding up rather well. It actually takes awesome photos. It's also waterproof AND shockproof. PERFECT for clumsy me. I want to get into taking portraits, nothing too serious. I don't want to be a photographer that does weddings or big stuff like that but I do want to be able to take decent photos of my family, friends and places that I've been. Hopefully I'll be getting a DSLR for my birthday or for graduation. I've fallen in love with the photo site
Picnik. I'd recommend purchasing the premium package. Its only like $25 a year. You can add text to your photos, add spray tan, airbrush yourself and do a TON of other stuff. I know some of my friends who want to do photography professionally use picnik along with Photoshop. I love it. I've editted photos for gifts, I've made cards on there, even attempted making a Christmas card. Too bad Mom chose the Walmart one. Ha. Here is a little taste of what I've done so far.

I LOVE the macro setting. My cousin was collecting caterpillars, so I took a shot at this little guy before he was put in the bug keeper.
