Photography Class

So I am really enjoying the photography class I am taking at the junior college here in town. It isn't so much a class on how to use your camera, but a class that gets you thinking about the kinds of pictures you take...lighting, angles, etc. Every week we have a different "assignment"...the first week was nature, the second week was self portraits, and this week was portraits of others. We submit our top 3 or 4 photos for the week and the class votes on which one out of all the choices was the best and then the teacher submits it to the local newspaper to be published. Well...I won last week...and it was for a self portrait. It's kind of awkward to see yourself on the projection screen (and here on the blog for that matter), but I guess everyone else liked it. My parents have been begging to see it, so here is the winner!
Anyway...now that that is over with...here are the ones I am submitting this week for portraits of others. We had to do a close up, one with the environment that a person enjoys, a group shot, and one other.
Well, what do you think? You should try it too!!!

Love the self-portrait! Thanks for sharing it!

I wish I could take a class like that--seems like fun (and a good way to get to know people).

Great pictures! That sounds like a great class, I would love to learn how to do more things on my camera. I really love your self-portrait picture, what a great idea to put your fam in the background.

I tried to do a wordle and mine didn't come out as good as yours. I think they only use your last few posts because mine had all these Mexican food words from my tamale workshop post- and Lucy wasn't even in there!!!!!

I'm so glad you are able to post more now, I really love your blog!

What great photos! I love the last one with Brayden and Kennan in the chair. In addition to taking such a fun class, you will have all of these photos as treasures afterwards.

AAH, the pics of you and the fam are great! It sure is slow around CRW, without yall here and before Juniors come...Our big scoop, I guess, is that we get to move into our apt. this weekend. I can't wait to be in a place of our own. Give my love to the fam and the Rev Rig. btw, I can't think of that except in the lisp-ey sound of a small child...and it is sooo cute ;)

I think you are on to something great! I love the self portrait-great depth of field! The background tells the story of you! It has been 10 years since I was in the middle of photography. It has changed soooo much since I was processing my own film and now it is all digital!
