And so it begins

I'd like to walk around the world looking at it through a viewfinder, altering dimensions, perspective, depth, color. I enjoy taking pictures. Sometimes of obviously beautiful things, but often of mundane things, and finding their beauty. I hope you'll enjoy some of these.
I also enjoy putting my thoughts down on paper. The notes may or may not tie into the shot. Just ramblings.
Disclaimer: I'm but an aspiring novice photographer (redundancy intentional). This will be a tool to measure my progress.
About this shot: Redbud blooms, somewhere between Houston and Dallas, TX. March 2006
