I am not a Professional Photographer but...I enjoy it tremendously. I think it’s important, for many reasons, to document the times of our lives, and that’s what I try to do. We all have our lives to live and photography is a way to share it with others. A NOTE OF INTEREST: I like the idea of creating photo books. It helps to make the events of our lives seem permanent. If your relying on your PC's, CD's , & DVD's to still work 10, 20, 40 years from now, be careful. Most of our parents took pictures and made prints. Unless you do that, I'm seriously afraid that these photo memories will fade away never to be seen again. Be very careful if you want to keep them for the future. Make prints or books of your photos.
