Project 365 – Day 77

Tennis was once “my sport,” so I always associate it with springtime.  I lettered in tennis all 4 years of high school, played on a partial scholarship in college, and continued to play for years afterward.  Unfortunately, an injury put an end to it.  I still love watching tennis, and I definitely miss playing.  It was a real blow when I had to toss in the towel.

Ironically, the end of tennis sparked a new beginning.  Needing a new past time, I returned to photography.  I learned the basics of photography from my brother while I was in high school.  I shot for the yearbook and casually in college, but dropped it afterward.  The expense and other demands shelved it once we started our family and careers.

A work colleague mentioned his camera and hobby, and more conversations resulted in my rekindled interest.  I remembered how much I enjoyed it in earlier years.  I began shooting film again and quickly became hooked and obsessed with learning.  Also, digital photography began taking off.  It opened an entirely new world of control over the development of what I captured.  So here we are … loving the craft and artistic challenge!
