PHOTOGRAPHY IS MAGIC

Life is happening, everyday, every moment, it's all happening and I want to remember everything! A photo can capture life at its most precious, honest and real moment and bring us all back to the emotions that were felt at that time. It is all about how it makes you feel and what emotions are stirred.
Photography is magical and limitless.

PHOTOGRAPHY INSTITUE REGISTRATION

It's official!! I have registered for the 6 month online photography course. I have read so much negative and positive information on this course but overall it's me that has to be happy with this decision and I am. I have looked extensively at classes through the summer, but Al and I are heading back to Australia in August and I would miss too many classes. These classes cost the same as this course that I can do from home so for me this is an awesome decision. 

Basically there are 12 modules that I have to complete along with 10 assignments. I have my own personal Tutor, David Goldman,  as well as full access to the author, George Seper. This is ideal for me, the modules are a complete from A-Z explanation and in depth look at photography and this is exactly what I have been looking for. It's 7 days money back..so I have the first week to decide, but I opened the first module which is 64 pages and peeked at the first assignment and I love it already. 

The first assignment gives me a list of equipment and of photography shoots and wants me to decide which lens/camera/lights ect. would work best for the outcome asked for. I love that idea...so now all I have to do is study up on all the equipment!!!! 

Overall, I'm really excited to be able to do this on my own terms and time. 

Today's shot for my 365 was another selfie...I love selfie's purely because I am the easiest model I've got! I love taking photos of people...

Never Give Up!

I started my 365 project in February of 2010. It's been quite the journey to figure out if I have what it takes to finish it! But look what I just wrote??!! If I have what it takes??!! OF COURSE I DO!!!!! 

Cam arrived (Al's best friend) from Australia at the beginning of the month and I have loved having him here but for some reason I felt I couldn't be as creative in the house with my photos. That's all crazy talk I have realized and am back on track. The photos are all on Flickr...I will share some of my favorites though as I continue on my journey of photography!!!!!

I have also decided to follow through and take a  6 month course with the Photography Institute.  My goal is to be a professional photographer. One my friends and family can use for photos over time. I want to be the best I can be for all of you and I will get there!!!
