Hi, my name is Janet, I am new at Photography. I live in beauitful Ontario, Canada, I have always been interested in it since I was a kid but didn't have the money to get into it. So I went to art classes instead, liked it but never loved it.
When I was 21 I received a 35mm (can't remember what make) and found that limiting for what I wanted to do with it. About six christmas's ago my father-in-law placed a chair on top of the camera and crushed it. The following christmas I received a Canon EOS 3000, which I cried when I saw it.
I have two beauitul boys, 3 and 1 which I love. I dicided that I would stay home to raise them and take in a few other children till my boys go to school. I started to go a little crazy and needed a outlet, saw a photography contest in the local paper and entered, I found it hard and exciting, at times stressful (mostly towards the end as I was running out of steam)
My loving and supportive husband saw the bug in me and bought a Canon Rebel XT for my birthday 3 months ago, still learning how to use it. Hopefully I haven't bored you guys too much and will be kind if I ever feel confident enough to put my work on display.
Thanks Darren your letters have helped inspire me.
