Photography and My Lack of Talent

I've been thinking a lot about taking pictures. I'm a little miffed at myself for not picking up my camera this weekend. I had a beautiful three-day visit from my neice, Thea, and then Jay, Hank, and I went on a great hike at Mt. Grace State Forest on a crisp and sunny fall day. And I didn't take a single picture. What is wrong with me?


I love taking pictures but feel like I'm just taking nothing-special snapshots with my camera. I don't have a fancy camera - it's actually second-hand - but I like it. I've been thinking of taking a digital photography class and then started thinking about the pictures I have taken. These are the cream of the crop - at least to me.


I'm sure if someone with a tiny bit of photography knowledge would declare these the work of an ameteur, but so be it...
