Inappropriate title...

when i started this, i had only my iPhone 4 for a camera.  i had a lot of cool apps that really pulled the most out of that little 5.5 mp, digital zoom only camera, but it wouldn't capture much of what i wanted.

thanks to my sisters, i now have a Canon S5 point and shoot to use.  Angela gave Georgia her dslr, and i was given this to use.  it's a big step up, obviously, but it also forces me to learn the things i'll need to know when i eventually get my dslr.  this S5 has manual controls for ISO, shutter speed, exposure, etc.  i can work on learning each of these settings on their own, as well as how they function in harmony together.

i spent a few hours yesterday walking the Lincoln Park Zoo and Conservatory here in chicago.  i got some shots i really like, but i mostly learned how much i have yet to learn.  i also have some heavy studying to do on basic photo editing in photoshop.  i want to take pictures that are not made by editing, but i also want to get the most out of the good pictures i take.

so...i need a new blog name.  leave your suggestions in the comments if you like. :-)
