One year ago today...I submitted my first post to photographica - I remember it like it was yesterday. Unsure and nervous about how my photography would be talken by the group as a whole...
April 12, 2005 - My first post.

Now - looking back on the year - I realize I have gained confidence and embraced my vision
(thanks to several members of Photographica...too many to name - and many more to come!)

I hope that in one year, I can look back and feel what you're feeling now; part of something good! Debora, you had a great start and your work today is very impressive!

Thanks Sis! Remember that discussion we had about my second post? http://www.photographica.org/story/2005/4/30/171435/056 I thought we had a group of real photo enthusiast to share tips and ideas or discuss the merits of a particular photo. Boy was I wrong! LOL
