my technological progress...

I purchased my first camera in 2007 in New York after I got a horrible grade on a math test in college. To cheer myself up I decided to get an easy compact Nikon Coolpix S230. I was happy with the size of the camera. I could carry it to every party I went and take hundreds of pictures (o boy! I harassed so many people with it!) ...Then in 2009 I was already dissatisfied with the quality of shots. I often referred to this camera as "an idiot". Don't get we wrong...the camera was fine for simple shots but I had many ideas which never turned right with this camera. I realized it is time for change so I bought Nikon L100. I was very proud of my new Nikon L100 because I bought it for money earned not from modeling gigs but earned on a serious job (at that time I was an intern at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York)...Unfortunately this camera turned to be not as exciting as I expected...In December 2009 I moved to Warsaw, Poland. After crazy college life in New York I was quite bored and the weather was awful. I started to go through multiple pictures I have taken over the years in NYC and realized that photography makes me very happy. I started to experiment with my camera...but again...I was dissatisfied. I realized that it is time for a serious camera - something for the beginners but taking good quality shots... Something which will allow me to be creative. Couple of days ago I sold my Nikon L100 and bought secondhand Nikon d40.... I just love it!!! I still try to get it know but I am very, very happy!!!
Yesterday, I went outside to try out my new camera...
