snap!

So my parents surprised me with a new camera, and now I've graduated from my going on six year old Kodak point and shoot to a Nikon DSLR.  Which is pretty cool.  I mean, my Kodak has been a great camera. It's simple to use, it's gone most everywhere with me the past five years, and I've taken some pretty decent (if I may say so myself) pictures with it.  Like Troy Polamalu:



And down the Banks:





And Florida:







And in my own backyard (ish):















And now I'm learning how to use my new camera. Of course, with taking pictures of the pets:











But I'll try to not be one of those really obnoxious Flickr members who post nothing but shots to show off what their camera can do (usually all macro), without any other considerations as to whether it's a good or interesting or compelling picture. Well, maybe a little while I learn how to use this thing.
