In my high school and college years, I was a bit of a photography buff. I took photos for my high school and college student newspapers, and even won an award at an amateur photography contest once.

Recently, I’ve been very inspired in seeing the photos Anne and Dani have been posting on her blogs as part of the PhotoHunt blog project. It’s given me the itch to start getting back into photography. I’ve not ever really left it as I’m constantly taking photos of my stitching and such, but I really want to try and start taking more artistic photos again.

So, in light of all this, I’m tossing my hat into the ol’ PhotoHunt ring as well. There are weekly themes for the photos that start each Saturday. All photos must be one’s original work, and not something found using a Google image search or something. The theme for this week is Technology.

I’ve actually used some of my older technology (a Samsung S1050 point & shoot digital) to capture this image of some new technology that I’m currently taking on a test drive. This is the newly released Olympus E-600 D-SLR. The lens mounted on the camera body is a 14-42mm and the second lens is a 40-150mm.

As some of you may remember, I had planned on doing a 365 photo project this year meaning that I would post a photo on my blog each and every day of 2009. As you may have deduced, I did about as well on that as I did on my no-stash diet. Who knows, perhaps with this new rekindling of my photo bug, perhaps I’ll accomplish it in 2010.

Given that the PhotoHunt project has been going on since 2006, there are 187 old themes archived that I’ve never done. My goal is to stay current with the weekly themes as they are released, and perhaps go back to try and catch up on all of the old archived themes as well. I’m making no promises on that second part though.

Until next time …
