New Obsession

I have never been one to carry a camera around all the time.  So I have never been very into photography.  But recently I have had a lot of time on my hands, and I have been wanting to build my Photoshop portfolio.  Here's the problem: in order to edit photos, you need to actually have photos to edit.  But my digital camera can't do diddly squat when it comes to fancy photo taking.  Or so I thought.  A few days ago, I discovered (quite by accident) that the macro feature on my camera works pretty well!  So what did I do with the spare five hours I had that day?  I ran around grabbing random objects, tossing them on my floor, and taking obnoxiously close-up pictures of them, of course!  Then I threw the memory card into my computer, and had a heyday with Photoshop.  And this is the result:

I am enjoying this way too much for my own good.  Now I want to buy a fancy camera, and I am going to spend an indecent amount of time with Photoshop.

This is a problem.
