Happy Birthday to me! In honor of turning another year older, I treated myself to a juicy new lens! Those of you who know me well know that since I've been a mommy, Ive not been the self-spoiling gal I once was. But it was time.. time for me! So arriving today is my creamy new Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D IF and Hoya HMC Super multicoated UV filter as well as a sturdy new Lowepro case (not that it will ever get used much, I have a feeling this 85 won't be leaving my camera much).

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

Sticking to what works.. Should be easy to do right? Wrong-O. Well, not for me anyway. A very wise photographer put it to me in very simple to understand non-logic.
Photographers will almost always quit doing what works for them in search of something else. It's their creative nature.
For example, I used to be really into macro photography. And I was great at it. And it was fun. Then somewhere along the way I must have interpreted it as a "job" and no longer new and exciting, so guess what.. I stopped. So with years of this happening in my photography, from commercial to landscapes to fashion, one area has always been there - children. I'm not going to say that I wish I would not have ventured into those other areas, because I don't. I'm a better photographer for having done it. I have a wide range of knowledge and experience from my years bouncing around. But now it's time to get serious. It's time for me to set my focus. I have some mighty big goals for myself that I'm sure I'll share along the way as I'm trying to accomplish them.
So welcome to my photog blog.
