Re-Sparking a Love Affair with my DSLR

Last year was the year of the iPhone over here!

I most definitely took more iPhone self-portraits than DSLR photos, primarily because as I teach Be Your Own Beloved I like to participate alongside the participants with my iPhone rather than my DSLR…as the journey in that class isn’t just about how fancy your photo is…it is about telling your story through your camera (any camera…yes, even a cell phone camera).

Every month at some point I’d get out with my DSLR (if you’re wondering what gear I love, there is a post all about it over here), but after years of it being my primary way of documenting the world around me in that magical way that a DSLR can do…I confess I missed it!

I’m craving to re-spark a love affair with my DSLR.

So this year I want to make an effort to bring out the big camera more, both to document the world around me, step into the frame and I’m so excited to do more photo sessions too!

The other day I donned my thrifted cowboy boots and took my camera to the community garden and it was surprisingly quiet so I found myself feeling free to take lots of photos in some spots at the garden that are usually busy!

Here are a few photos from that adventure!

How about you?  Do you favour your cell phone camera over a DSLR?  What is your favourite camera to shoot with?
