hi, new here!

my name is jessica. i'm a stay-at-home-mom of 3. digital photography is just one of my many interests. i have been using a fujifilm finepix s700 for the past 2 yrs, but i am in the market for my first dslr as soon as i get my tax return! (yay!) i used to have my camera permanently attached to the end of my arm, although since my youngest son was born, i'm embarrassed to admit that i fell out of the habit of taking pictures. (the worst time, right?!?!) i am happy to report though, that i've been getting back into the habit, and hope to learn a lot here. i'm too busy and broke for proper photography courses, so i spend a lot of time reading up online. i also love photo editing and image manipulation. i used to be a big photoshop fan, until i grew a conscience about illegal software. i've recently started fiddling with GIMP and am pleased with it thus far.

ANYWAYS, that's me. glad to be here!
