An itch I have had for years…
ByAs you may already know, I have spent a lot of time in the last month or so, going over all of the photos that I have taken since about the beginning of 2003. I needed to get through them all and finally get rid of the bad ones and organise the remaining photos so that I could actually find them when I needed.
Anyhoo, I came across these two photos in my adventures taken in 2003. I think they would be the first real evidence of the itch that I had for wanting to explore photography.
These were both taken with my first digital camera, a Kodak LS753 if I remember correctly. And they were just taken while I was out and about (I used to carry the camera with me quite a fair bit).
Anyhoo, I guess I just wanted to share this interesting discovery from my past that I guess defines me a little bit more. What would be the first photo you took that got you thinking that photography could be good fun for you?

I first started taking photos of friends (mixed with some floral stuff also – easy subject matter to explore the craft – flowers do not complain about having their image taken, and will poss for you all day). Portrait stuff was always a favorite of mine though.

@Roentarre – Thank so much, I have to say I impressed even myself considering it was a point and shoot camera (and also the fact that the LS752 was not really a good camera at all LOL).
@Manz – I have to agree with you, the top one is my favourite of the two as well. Wish I could see the flowers again and take them with the SLR and a macro lens that would be STUNNING! Interesting point too, flowers do just stay as you want them for long periods of time. And people do complain so often when I try to capture their soul.. erm I mean photo with my camera!

Thanks it is still a big job (I have just been doing more today). After culling out all the junk I am down to just over 9200 photos. Now I am just going through, categorising and labeling them which is taking even more time HAHA.
And I remember having the same thoughts, for quite a while I wanted to have a backup film copy of all my photos. LOL oooh those were the days (I feel so old).
Also you are most welcome for the comment.
Cheers
