In the Beginning….

So this is my first attempt at blogging.  And this probably won’t be the first post you read.  From what I’ve read about blogs, it takes a little time for people to get accustomed to adding bloggers to the already long lists of people and activities they follow.  Never-the-less I‘m going to make this post count for something!!  First off I’d like to say that I hope to start out making two posts a week.  One related to my life and the other relating to the way photography is involved in my life.  The idea of me starting blog seems quite foreign for several reasons.  One being I hate to write and two being I’m not one who generally opens up his thoughts to others.  Both of these things are areas of my life which I feel I need to improve upon.  As I’ve been taught in many of my engineering classes, an engineer must be able to convey his thoughts and ideas in a way that is understandable and can be easily interpreted.  One way to improve on that would be to write.  Secondly, I feel that I sometimes lack emotion.  And I could not think of a better way to further my emotional capabilities than through expressing how I feel in a forum setting.  I got the idea to start a blog while reading a photographic composition book on my lunch-break.  I figured that a blog would be the best way for anyone who wanted to keep up with my happenings to do so.  So without further a-do, my life and photography in the blog-o-sphere!!
