Hi everyone!

My name is Leann, and I'm new here. I'd heard of dpchallenge from a few of my photographer buddies and decided to join in -- hopefully learn some things and generally have a good time.

I live in Indiana, am the mom to two kids and do a lot of picture-taking and editing.

My camera of choice is the Canon 20D and I also have a Canon 10D and a film Elan that I haven't taken out much since going digital.

I guess that's about it!

Oh wait, that's not quite it -- I have a web page at //www.lifespringphotography.com and a blog at //www.lifespringphotography.com/blog

Hi Leann,

RUN RUN AND NEVER LOOK BACK :P it's too late for me, Its too late for me but if you escape now you will survive with just minor mental scarring :P.

Or you could stay and have fun and enjoy your time here.

Thank you! I used a template to make it, but I did pretty much make it "my own" in the end.

Thanks! I have been doing a bunch of second shooting for other photograhers, and just did my second wedding on my own this past weekend!

Yeah, I've been told that following the rules is extremely important. I don't know how much of my current workflow is DPC legal though, because I do most of my adjustments in LightRoom and then a little with layers in PhotoShop as well. I think I'm going to be a bit scared to post anything in the challenges at first!
