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!)
