And So It Begins: Story

New lives can produce new perspectives.  So when we moved for the umpteenth time this past May, I took the time to start snapping photos.  I don't own a fancy camera, though it has been on my Christmas wish list for years.  I mean years.  Granted, they are not cheap so I'm not likely to get one this Christmas either.  But I can wish.  What I have at hand—what most of the modern world has at hand—is a handy-dandy mobile phone.  A year ago, I was forced to upgrade my mobile phone and I stuck with the Samsung brand.  I bought a Samsung Galaxy s7.  I really didn't see why I had to upgrade, but the new phone did "do" what I wanted.  So, the new environment this year prompted my desire to capture new moments in a world alien to me.  Mostly, because we broke down near Tucumcari, NM and I was left with a few hours of downtime.  These first photos, as you can see, were point-and-shoot-let-the-camera-do-all-the-work shots.  I was pleased that Samsung had put in the effort to help us lay-people take decent pics without the need for training and expertise of amazing photographers.
