New Hobby? Perhaps!

I bought myself an early Christmas present thinking that I'd take up photography. It's been a while since my digital artwork days. Drawing takes more time than I have available to dedicate towards it. So I thought photography would be an viable substitute.

And thus.. my Tumblr (http://sshu.tumblr.com/)! I'm still not sure why the thought of photography inspired me to sign up for Tumblr, but here we are. I'm thinking I'll periodically post my best photos. Hopefully it'll be a log that allows me to see progression in the years to come as I learn what all of these manual settings mean, composition, lighting, and all of that fun stuff. I've never taken a photography class so this is going to be a trial and error experiment. Perhaps I'll even post new lessons as I find them online. So far the Nikon Learn & Explore iPhone app has been a great starting point.

And here is my first Tumblr post.

Redundant to have it here too, but I really love the lights my roommate and I put up. I thought I'd share it to get everyone more into the holiday mood.

More to come.
