So I'm taking a course in photo.. While the classroom stuff is easy enough for me, getting back into the habit of carrying a DSLR system everywhere I go is not.  So I'm trying to get back into just the habit of taking pics as I go; my Blackberry isn't much of a camera, but it keeps me honest when it comes to capturing a moment; forces me to look around me instead of just straight ahead. Man, some habits are well established.. :(

I've enjoyed photography for over a quarter century now; everything from basic instamatic cameras to polaroids to SLR and DSLR cameras.  I find that while I enjoy taking pictures, I'm always looking for something that's missing in them, or I try to recapture something that was accomplished by accident. So I've decided to hit the basics and go from the ground up to see what can be accomplished if I dedicate a bit of time and effort to re-master the basics of photography. Posting here will be hap-hazard and uploads will be intermittent as I try and get more comfortable with a shooting routine which has so far eluded me. :) p.
