I recently purchased a Nikon D3000 after realizing I’ve waited much too long to move on in the photography world. I’ve been a point-n-click kind of guy my whole life, but I think I’ve reached a point where I don’t simply want to take pictures to capture memories. I want to take pictures that tell stories and have a life of their own.

Wow. Have you always wanted to be a photographer? I mean, i realize that you’ve been a “point-n-click” type of person, but why the sudden inspiration? I’m totally jealous, by the way. My ideal life would be to live in London taking pictures of things, writing about them, drawing, and complaining about the politics. From cool angles in different color settings, taking pictures of animals and people isn’t too fruity.
