As a pre-teen I used to fooled around taking pics of my dog, Shotsey. He was a car chasing mutt/spaniel. Loved ‘playing’ with the camera. High school, college, work, family of my own and continuing to often help on the family farm all combined to prevent my pursuing photography as a hobby.
I bought a Canon S3 a year before I retired from my job just to see if I might still have ‘the bug’. Yep, I did. I now have my hobby, but still not so much time. Friends and neighbors conspire to keep me busy for my own good so that I won’t become bored.
Boredom is my major goal in life.
