Welcome to 2012

Welcome 2012 - a fresh new start, and a year that I hope is filled with joy and happiness.  I hope that I can capture many of those moments, as well as the chaos that seems to surround me daily.  I have have had an on again, off again relationship with my camera this year - sometimes I pulled it out because I felt that I had to capture a moment, and not necessarily because I was moved to mark the occasion.  My favorite photos are those that I have been inspired to take and often it happens when I least expect it. 

I am by no means a professional, and I have much to learn.  I am inspired by many and I hope that one day I have the time to take some classes and learn from those who take truly great photos.
