Creative Outlet

I have been thinking lately that I would really like to purchase a nice DSLR camera. I've been doing my research and I have gotten some suggestions from two great artists that I know. So I know what I want, I just need to start saving my pennies to get it. I have found that I really enjoy taking photographs and it would be nice to have a creative outlet again. Who knows, maybe I could even start doing more exhibits and even selling some of my works on the side. These are some pictures I have taken with my cell phone:
