Have the planets ever just aligned so perfectly you could squeal with delight?
I was actually thinking the other day:
1) I need to learn how to take better pictures.
2) I’d really like to learn how to actually USE the expensive camera I bought myself.
3) I should probably learn how to use Photoshop.
(Which, yes, I also own but have but elementary skills at).
And so I was thinking about all the things I really wanted to learn in the world of photography, and how maybe I should blog about it.
And then I got Lisa Leonard’s latest necklace in the mail.
And I’ve worn it every day since.
Because it is so stinking cute.
Perfect in every way.
And a reminder that my camera, is, in fact…
the lens of my life.
What I see.
The little everyday moments.
The things I will forget.
Surely.
Unless, of course, I capture them.
And then, as if the camera gods were smiling down on me, I got in touch with Faith.
Faith, who blogs over at Simplicity: my life in {mostly} photographs.
Faith, who also hosts various photography e-classes.
Her last class was all about how to use your DSLR. Missed it. Dang.
BUT, her next class…beginning October 4th is called Basics of Photography.
Here is her description:
My photography classes are geared towards busy women, most of us are moms, so there isn’t a lot of pressure or a ton of homework or reading. The ladies who took my last class enjoyed it and were challenged by it.

The instruction is done via emailed tutorials. Each week there will be three assignments, two technical and one creative. Assignments are posted in my Flickr Group where I will comment on each image you post – mostly constructive criticism and a lot of encouragement
Perfect.
Sign me up.
In fact, Faith was gracious enough to let me take her e-class in exchange for blogging about it.
AND…
as if that weren’t enough…
Faith would like to offer one of YOU a free registration of your own!!!
This is a basic photography class.
You can have ANY kind of camera.
Please don’t think you need to have a fancy schmancy camera.
You don’t.
You just have to have a camera…and want to learn how to take better pictures.
Easy peasy.
Are you in???

I most like taking pictures of my kids. But I also like to take pictures of landscapes- a la Ansel Adams. I also have to do a lot of photography of artwork and step by step processes for my blog and website-at least I need to.

I take the most pictures of random things that catch my eye – alleyways, unique architecture, a squirrel eating a donut that it found in a trashcan… if it piques my interest, I’m probably going to try and capture it with a photo.
I tweeted about the contest!

I take pictures of friends when they visit. I even have a photo album where I put the pics and say what was happening (taking to/picking up from LAX, just a short visit) and of the beaches we live by.
