Fresh Eyes
"Photographers do this for a living, every single day - they point their lenses toward every single corner of our world and somehow make the mundane mesmerizing through their artistic eye. It's all a matter of being aware of your surroundings and realizing that there are some really amazing and interesting things to look at, even if it may just be something so simple as a wall being covered up by paint."

Now having gotten quite used to the immediate gratification of digital picture making, the need to develop film and then transfer it to a digital format was something of a throw back. However I did get to remember and enjoy the sheer anticipation of opening a photo envelope and wondering if anything turned out. Below is a sampling from my inaugural efforts!
