took this up as a challenge to explore a side of photography i have admired and have dabbled in but haven't been too serious - its been a lot of fun - sometimes too much.. i bought a digital camera about a yr. ago and ever since i have been mesmerized with what is possible - i would've loved the darkroom as well - but there is an element of instant gratification that is very hard to pass up. and the experimentation possibilities - and even better the instant getting rid of bad photographs (without harming the environment !). there are basic skills that i want to get better at as well; to me sound fundamentals and understanding light and colors is the key - i am hoping by the end of this i am a little bit better at these with all your help and valuable critique.
