I’ve started to pay attention to photography again. Not like I ever paid any really close attention in the past…although I did fancy myself sort of an Amateur Photographer. Yeah, like a title…not simply "haven’t been paid for the work" amateur, but a little more than that. August 2005 I purchase a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT before a trip to France with my wife Tamara. I took a bunch of pictures. Had fun with it. Then I got busy with work and put the camera down.

So, this past week I was recommended by my boss (imakeimages.com) and a colleague to use Adobe’s latest digital photography workflow tool – Lighroom. Although it is currently in its beta phase (and free), it is sleek…and beautiful…and displays crisp images on MacBook Pro’s glossy screen. (By the way, right about the time I bought the Rebel I also bought a PowerBook G4. Even though it took a hard crash on me once…causing me to loose the entirety of my unbacked-up hard-drive…pictures and all…I am committed again to Apple).

So for the time being, I’m hooked on photography again. Keep track of what I’m taking on this site or through my flickr account.
