In January, I posted a blog entry<\/a> that showed a few of my favorite photos from 2009. I was and continue to be so proud of my photography. It\u2019s great to have photos that I can use in blog posts and I love getting comments \/ compliments from complete strangers mentioning how much they love my photos.<\/p>\n

I know it\u2019s only been 4 months but I bought a Canon G11 in December after owning the G10 for all of 2009 and I I\u2019ve taken thousands and thousands of photos on the new camera in the past few months and I have so many great photos that I wanted to share here.<\/p>\n

Please let me know what you think of these and thanks for reading and for your support! You can see all of these photos in their larger version. Just click on them. <\/p>\n

People ask me how I got so good at taking photos. Honestly, I suck. I\u2019m not good at this but I\u2019m doing something that people like so I\u2019ll continue to get better. I don\u2019t have training. I just bought cameras and took thousands of photos. I took nearly 30K photos last year. It takes that kind of commitment to get good at this. Just go out and take pictures. Practice the trade and you\u2019ll improve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In January, I posted a blog entry that showed a few of my favorite photos from 2009.
