I used to mow the yard for Mrs. Manix who lived across from our house on Fort Jefferson Road. She lived there with her daughter, Joann. They owned Manix construction which is still a Darke County Fixture. Anyway, they gave me a whopping $20.00 to mow the five acres (it seemed like) around their house and barnyard. Wow was that ever big money in those days.

Anyway, Mrs. Manix knew most of those people who owned those houses around Memorial Hall. She and her daughter sometimes would talk about them and how they had made their money.; February 25, 2008 at 7:39 AM

WHY the name PHOTOGRAPHY FOR DUMMIES?

Because I don't know much about the digital cameras I have used over the years....and yet I am able to take photographs. I have never made it through my entire instruction manual for any of my cameras. I started out with a little cheap 1MP camera.....and progressed from there. I still only have a 5MP Lumix.

Can I explain much about the settings I use or how I captured the shots I have? No, not really. Does that negate the value of the photo? No, not really. They are what they are and can more than stand alone based on their own value.

I want this blog to inspire and encourage even those who think they are clueless or a "dummy" when it comes to taking pictures to just get out there and DO IT! After all if I can get these shots....I am pretty sure you could too!
