A Run Down Of My Photography Gifts

Let me assure you that I have everything I need or could ever possibly want.

I mean it.

My husband and family continue to spoil me though. They know I love to take photos. The teens in my family don’t always appreciate my fanaticism for photography but I say this to that – oh well.

I will admit that I have been in a creative slump ever since my little Nikon D40 went to the repair shop in October/November and I was without my own camera for over a month. I borrowed from friends but it’s not the same. I had a routine which was broken and the logistics of downloading and editing became less easy and more of a chore.

As a result, my creativity suffered. I’m still trying to recover actually. I still bring my camera everywhere I go, I just don’t use it as often.

My parents and the husband went in together on a wonderful gift of a new camera, the powerful and wonderful Nikon D7000. I purchased myself a new 1.8 50 mm lens. And Santa brought me arguably the best gift -

a new Kelly Moore camera bag.

I am making a New Year’s resolution to study and become more educated in photography.

There will be no more excuses for creative slumps. None.

Now there just needs to be a little more time . . .
