I even managed to get one published in a photography magazine. Lately I feel like it is more of a chore since I have to take photos to accompany my garden blog and I hate that I feel like this about my first love.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'll try to label the posts with the make and model of the camera I used to take the picture because people always seem to want to know what camera is being used.</div><div><br /></div><div>The photos here will cover anything I find interesting and could be nature-related or other things I find interesting that have nothing to do with nature. I'd add these photos to my garden blog but I notice that I'm quickly running out of storage space there. I'm not sure how often I'll be uploading photos here after I edit some I want to post. </div><div><br /></div><div>These photos were/will be taken in an around the city of Chicago,  IL.</div><div><br /></div><div>I watermark all of my photos because they're mine. If you'd like to use a photo of mine ask and we may come to an understanding that we're both happy with. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer">The images in this <a href="http://photoblog.mrbrownthumb.com/">photo blog</a> are &#169;<a href="http://mrbrownthumb.blogspot.com">MrBrownThumb</a> and cannot be reproduced anywhere without my permission.
