New Year
Here i am on the 1st of January looking back into the past for some badly needed inspiration. 2011 took it out of me, in many ways. 

I have never done much with these old shots from my trips to America in 2004 & 2006, my camera sucked (although at the time i was probably pretty impressed), i had a Pentax Mz50 film camera with a lens that is not worth remembering. I had little knowledge of how to use a camera, and less about light. Looking back now they are ordinary but retro and grainy and i am surprised at what i could do with not much. 

I have always had the opinion that a good photographer could use anything and still make something of it. So while a camera update is needed, here is to being a good wife, mother and photographer with whatever i have this year.

 Happy New Year!
