A Photographic Journey

I'm a member of a photography/picture-sharing community. (Flickr) There are hundreds of thousands of pictures there. I will never see them all. But I have seen a lot of beautiful pictures there. It's made me want to take pictures more often than I do. That and the fact that when I tried to find pictures online of the area of NC I live in, it was slim pickin's to say the least.

I'd like to take my digital camera and take pictures of different areas of my city and the countryside near where I live. Upload them and get them on the internet. There just aren't enough by a long shot. There's a lot of beauty in the area I live in and plenty of interesting things to take pictures of. But you will find many more pictures of the mountains and the coast of NC than you will of central NC.

Anyway, I'm not a pro by any means, but I do enjoy taking pictures. And it's like a mission. I have to get good photographic representation of my area online so that hopefully others will see and so that I will have some pictures to choose from to share with friends or post at forums and on my website. I may do that tomorrow or Friday. We'll see.
