I’m becoming increasingly fascinated with photography, especially digital photography. I don’t know much about Flickr, a photo-sharing website, but their users have selected and shared their single best photo of 2005.
They all much better than mine, but if I had to choose one of mine, it would be this one, which is of a stunning view down the front of dam into a canyon in Wyoming. We had stopped to shoot some pictures and look around on a cold, rainy August morning during our long road trip to Washington, and I thought the view was breathtaking.
And, in a further indication of my desperate need for a hobby (like two jobs isn’t enough!), I’ve asked for a nice SLR digital camera for my birthday. My Dad has a Nikon D50 and seems pretty happy with it, but right now I’m leaning towards a Canon Digital Rebel XT, partially because Pam has had a regular Rebel for some time, and I loved using it, partially because 8 megapixels is a lot more than 6.1, and partially because it seems to be getting better reviews. I’m going to keep researching, so if anyone has recommendations or thoughts, please don’t be shy.

Gordy,
I love my Nikon D70. It took great pictures on safari last spring and takes great pictures of my kid around the house. I love having a digital SLR. I encourage you to use a company like Better Image to process your work when you want high quality and you want it printed like you croped it. It makes a huge difference. You will love your digital SLR no matter what you get but check out all the lenses and see what works for you. I have two and I am looking at a 3rd. Also my old Nikon lenses work with it.

Deb,
Thanks - I didn’t know you were a photographer. Sometime you’ll have to share some pointers - and, of course, some pictures, especially from your safari.
