Beware! I have a camera!

This is an official warning...I now have a digital camera. I don't have a photo in mind for this post, but I can't imagine there will be many without a photo from here on, again it's a warning. I know me. I am going to really and truly believe that I am a photographer now. I am sure that I will submit photos to some contest and then be in utter disbelief that my photo is not the one chosen for the cover of "Time" magazine.

I'm like that, I think I can be the best at absolutely everything. Somedays this is a good trait and somedays a really bad trait. For instance, I once thought I could be the best baker. I have two ex coworkers with caps on their teeth from "the best chocolate chip cookies in the world".

I thought I would be best the seamstress, my kids are careful to lie on the pillows I made for Christmas one year, fearful of being stuck with a couple of straight pins I left inside the pillows.

I also thought I would be the best plumber in the world, I flooded an entire home.

I thought I was going to be the best abstract artist in the world. It turns out Jackson Pollock really was talented. You can't just throw Benjamin Moore paint on a canvas and get millions of dollars.

At any rate, I fully anticipate being the best photographer in the world...look out Annie Leibovitz!

As a footnote, think twice about having me take your wedding photos. I have a questionable history.
