Allow Me To Introduce Myself

My name is Merissa and I am twenty-one years old.  Over the past nine months or so, I have picked up a new hobby-photography.  I LOVE IT!  I love everything about it.  I have had an interest in photography for the past few years, but I wasn't able to explore it until recently.  My boyfriend bought me my first dslr camera (Canon Rebel XSI/450 D) for my twenty-first birthday.  Thank you Noah!

As of right now, photography is only a hobby of mine.  I have been learning a lot about photography.  I have also been learning about editing and processing photos, which I also find enjoyable, but not as enjoyable as taking pictures with my camera.  I am trying to explore the different categories of photography.  I want to see I like best or what kind of photography I am best at.  As of now I have no idea.  Maybe once I find out, I can do something more with this hobby of mine.  But if it remains simply a hobby, that is fine too.  As long as I am able to do it and learn about I am happy!  I think photography will be something I will love for the rest of my life!
