In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.

More practice with on-camera flash on my friend Stacy.
Now it's Stacy's time to capture my sassy look.
Finally got back to catching up with my online Advanced Photomontage Class. This assignment calls for using clip art and backgrounds with a subject matter.
I love taking classes from Carol Leigh. Thank goodness I listened to Carol Davis when she repeatedly mentioned Carols’ online classes to me some almost 4 years ago.
Mystery Photo Assignment. First of three photos I'll be submitting.
My poor kitchen. Actually, poor Ray. He asked me yesterday “Was I finished working on my current macro background assignment?” It’s one day later and I’m still not finished. I have enough shots to upload for the 4 assignment but the more I shoot, the more I learn, and the more I can’t settle with the previous shots I thought I’d upload.
Not paying attention to background.
Paying attention to background.
These are the only shots of hours of shooting that I’m somewhat happy with.

“My experience is built on what I’ve done wrong. Nothing ever, ever replaces experience. I can teach you how to shoot but I can’t tell you how to see.” Zach

My attempt at directing Courtney during our evening assignment where we had to shoot each other.
Our last assignment of the night (9:30pm), we broke into groups and photographed each other. Courtney took this photo of me with my camera.
Courtney certainly captured how much fun I was having.
Our classmate, Marcelle, happened by at the end of our shoot and missing an opportunity to photograph him was not going to happen.
I’ll be uploading more photos from the workshop in a few days. Zach Arias, our instructor, rocks!!!
