sissi de kroon's photostream

I got my first camera when I was 12jr old. I started with black and white film and spend almost all my pocket money on photo's.

When I got married and had children, (artistic) photography moved to the background. I took photo's of the kids once and a while, but that was it!

After my divorce, I slowly started to take pictures again.

The real turning point was the digital camera(no more money spent on mishaps). When I saw a 2Mpx camera under 100 guilders, I bought it.(That was really cheap in 2003) My very first photo's on flickr were taken with that camera (a Trust 950 PowerC@m Zoom). But the colour chip on that camera was problematic. Almost every photo I took had to be colour adjusted.

So I started looking for another one. That other one is my current camera, a Kodak EasyShare Z740. I'm still very happy with this one.

Most of my pictures are landscape, but I try to be a little more creative also. Seeing all these photo's on flickr has been and still is a big inspiration.

I still learning and loving photography. I hope you enjoy my photo stream and let me know what you think1

You are The Empress
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
