Sometime in the late summer/early fall of 2003, I purchased my first (and so far only) DSLR. The Canon 10D. I still love this camera, but don't drag it around as much as I used to.
It seemed that in October of that year, I took some photos that I still really like. Partially for the images themselves. Partially for the reminder of the massive changes and upheaval in my life at the time. Each of these photos tells a story to me, but they are ones (for the most part) that are very private - and as such, I'll keep the details to myself. I hope you can understand.
One thing that is clearly evident in some of these early photos.... I really relied on using photo-editing software to get the images to look like they worked in my mind. Although the photo of the flower is just one that I ran across this evening and didn't mess with at all. As time has gone by, I'm much more interested in capturing the image directly on the camera and editing as little as possible.
The bunny costume photo is one of my all-time favorites. It's certainly not that impressive from a technical standpoint and I didn't give any real thought to composition - in fact, I'd probably go back and change some of the levels in this image, but.... It was my daughter's first Halloween that she wasn't being carried around and there is something about her baggy bunny butt that makes me smile every time.
