Making the jump into Digital

Recently I purchased a digital SLR, a Nikon D40. Not the greatest camera, but in my case it is the perfect camera for now. I'd love a better DSLR, but there is no way I can afford to spend anything more right now.  I used to use Nikon 35mm film cameras, but I stopped doing that a  few years ago when it became too expensive. Now that I have this camera, I am ready to get back into photography. There are so many cool projects online now. I've decided to jump in and get involved in the 366 Pictures project. Rather than rehash the idea and rules, it is better to just get the facts from the source.

Since there are 366 themes, I thought it would be pretty easy to hit a few in a short period of time. I decided that I would not use any current photos. What that means is that since I discovered this project on Friday Feb 15, 2008, I am not going to use anything shot before that date. That being stated,  here is my first 366 picture-

This is an old farmhouse a few miles from home. I've driven by it a few dozen times and never noticed it until I had my camera. I love the way the broken boards from the porch look cutting across the doorway.
