I've changed since getting my Nikon Coolpix S9900. I used to take photographs just as a record of my experience. In fact, that is all I thought I would ever want to do.
Now, I think of images as more of a way of seeing something special in all of life's ordinary places. With my camera, I enjoy looking more closely at an environment in which I'd become used to. That makes it seem, all the more, like a gift.
For example, these five images were found within a few minute's walk from my apartment. I have taken them within the last few days. Now, whenever I'm outside, I concentrate much more on our amazing world.
