Yippee for mee!

I don't say that sort of thing about myself often but every once in a while - I gotta!

One of my images from last week's assignment in my photography class got chosen as one of the best of the week out of about 400 images!

See, it's here

I almost feel like a published artist. yay me...

No miracles around here, I guess

Ok, so i didn't get all caught up in August. I just said it could happen...

So in no particular order, let's see if I can get caught up in September!

I'm taking an online photography class, from Cheryl Johnson at Feel Good Photos at the moment. I really like a lot of her work - especially the portraits. I really, really wish I could take good portraits.

But first things first.

Learned a bit about using light last week.


And a bit about the shape of things this week.
I actually found myself using things I learned the first week while working on the second week's assignment! There is thought behind my snapping! (unless you're thinking about when my mind snaps - not so much thought there.)



I've been inspired to take more pictures and think about what I'm doing rather than just pointing and clicking. I've even pushed myself to shoot subjects I don't usually even consider and get right down on the ground or up on top of things to get the angle I wanted even though someone might see me!

Growing experiences for the shy and easily embarrassed...
