Camera Dilemma

As I see all the wonderful work on so many blogs, I am taken by folks commitment to taking their own photographs as the basis of their blog or at least do it on a regular basis.  I loved sfgirlbybay in her Sunday walk about town.  And Staci at her new blog what's your story shows beautiful votives photographed by the acclaimed Mira Shah . Finally, littlebrownpen has been a source of constant inspiration to me.  I especially love how she groups her photographs by color.

 I would like to begin to see the world through a lens but I'm torn over what camera to buy.  It seems like cameras are changing so quickly I can't make a decision.  I also love the old black & white photography.  Any suggestions from all you lovely photographers - both professional and amateur?

Snapshots

I have to say I miss the days of actual film in a camera.  That being said I'm thrilled to have purchased my new camera yesterday.  One of my hopes is to pursue photography this year.  I have one of the best photography stores less than a block from my house so it was easy to get the advice I needed for the camera.  I am happy to say that I purchased a Nikon D90 with a 80-150 lens.  I played with it all night and I am sure I will have many happy adventures with it.  If anyone is an expert I would be thrilled for any advice in my new adventure.  I hope to share all of my snapshots this year as I travel and explore photography.
