I started taking photos in the 5th grade with an Kodak Brownie Starflash.  At Norwood High School I was the school photographer taking photos for the school paper,the yearbook and the homecoming queen and  prom queen candidate portraits.  The school camera was a large Graflex (I think) that I used to take black and white photos. Loaded my own film, developed negatives and made prints.
 
I have always been the designated photographer at events, particularly family events. So, of course, I appear in very few photos.  A tripod and timer have helped me appear in the family archives on occasion.
 
In 1999 my family bought me a digital camera and my interest in photography blossomed with the ability to "develop" photos again and create at home.
 
I take photos of people, places and things that I see and like.  I make calendars and FlipAlbums and frame large prints that I like.  They are hanging in my home as well as friends and family.
 
I currently use a 4.0 Megapixel Olympus Camedia D-40 Z00M. It is compact and easy to carry where ever I go.  I use Adobe Photoshop to edit my photos and print on an HP Deskjet 1220C which allows me to print up to 13 x 19.
