I got into photography about 2 1/2 years ago. The biggest problem is that I see cameras more as hardwares; I was seeing cameras as if I was seeing a video card. Comparing specs after specs, thinking I can take far better and serious pictures once I get a better camera. Thus, I didn't take my current camera serious. I also thought I can take good pictures if I'm at a different/better location. Well, in order to change that, I decided that I'm going to take as many pictures as I can at the same location at any given day.
It's been 4 attempts since then and what I realize is that I'm getting closer to the subject and seeing things different; I, now, try to see subjects through various angles. I pay more attention to subjects. I spend more time taking one picture out of one subject. I'm far more serious about the subject. I try to make best story out of them. Well, here are my 3rd day attempt along with some other pics I've taken last year. After some month, I'll post more pictures to compare.

Canon SD-10. It's got 38mm fixed focal length(no zoom) so I'm quite limited in that area. But, I heard many professional photographers saying that photography newbies should start with 50mm fixed focal length as the limitation would help them to use various angles along with other reasons.
