When did it all start?
Someone asked me that, so I thought I'd answer here.
It's complicated and simple at the same time.I took this photo in Vegas in 1996/97
(My memory is foggy that far back!)
I was in the middle of a divorce, I was in Vegas,
and I had discovered chatting on the internet.
I took this photo and after seeing the result,
realized that the person in the picture doesn't
look like the girl I see when I look in a mirror.
Realizing that is probably what made me keep taking photos.
I've been doing this ever since!
( The second photo was to prove a point to my ex. lol )
Why do I keep taking them? I've always been a picture taker.
From the moment I got my first camera at age 11
I've been snapping them. As I got older, I realized
that I'm not IN any photos, because I've always taken them.
That probably has a lot to do with taking photos now as well.
As for continuing with my photos - several years ago in a chat
channel, someone asked for a photo, and I had several choices
This person asked for all of them, and I shared. He said
"You have so many photos, you should do a calendar."
After that, I thought "Why not?" I'll just take a series of photos
every month, something new to share. I was able to pick and
choose who got to see what photos on an individual basis.
But it became a chore to DCC photos to people who asked.
I started putting them on a photo site with a password,
making things a whole lot easier.
