Beautiful pictures - I want a hobby

I can't help it, I love beautiful things. I am drawn to skylines, architecture, paintings, etc. I could visit a museum every day of the week if I had the time. I am even more impressed with how these beautiful sites can still be appreciated given a skillfully taken photograph.

I had a nice camera for a New York minute right after I got married...and we so used it when our daughter was born. Then time went out the window. As a working Mom a have little of it to spare. The camera collected dust, the lens got damaged, and I also craved much more than what my camera could offer.

Now I am carving out a bit more time for myself, if only to have a sense of sanity and tranquility once in a while. and photography is calling, nay...screaming and yelling my name.

In order to know what I will need to start up this hobby of mine, I needed to go look at what I want to do.

These are a few of the images I most want to be skilled at taking.

Also, I went looking at tutorials for picture taking and found this wonderful blog http://jenncuisine.com/ and it has both stunning pictures as wonderful advice. Like this one on exposure http://jenncuisine.com/2011/03/amateurs-food-photography-vi-the-histogram/

The tutorials are great http://jenncuisine.com/resources/tutorial-collection/, and I can't wait till I make a camera purchase and start snapping away.


What hobby would you like to have?
