Rick Running Bear & Giving Waters- AKA Mom and Dad :) Dad has a website celebrating Native American culture and a radio show. Mom is the ever present supporter of both. Dad needed some head shots for his paper- Talking Leaves so we did an impromptu photo shoot Christmas Day.
I shoot with a Canon EOS Rebel T1i. After I purchased my camera, it sat on my bed in the box for hours. Too scared to open it I fidgeted with the camera bag instead. What if I'd made a huge mistake? The label on the box clearly said "restocking fee of 20% if this seal is broken." Was I REALLY ready for this investment of my very first SLR camera? Finally I worked up the nerve to free the camera from the confines of it's box. It has been a close companion ever since- no looking back. Hello amazing world of digital photography!
