something old and something tacky new....

I went around the other day snapping some photos of some of our MANY local gorgeous old churches. This one sits right across the street from another church....and right beside a business that has this tacky orange neon palm tree made out of plastic that LIGHTS UP at night.....yeah......I thought the contrast between the two was striking...

I love this part of the church......

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!
