I'm not a professional—I'm nowhere close to a professional. But I am incredibly eager to learn more about the art of photography, and there's no better way to learn than to practice.
My husband gave me my camera as a wedding gift, and even though it's a pocket-sized little point and shoot, it packs a big punch when it comes to getting great shots. Seriously, don't let point and shoots fool you; they can take great photos, too!
As for editing, I'm still learning my way around Photoshop Elements 8. Maybe one of these days I'll actually buy a guide explaining how to do things on there, but for now I'm learning by trial and error and picking things up from tutorials around the web.
So there you have it, that's me in a nutshell!
