School Books Have Arrived!

It’s been a great week!  Well… aside from one ugly mishap, which we won’t talk about.  I’ve spent time with creative friends, and good people!  Enjoyed conversations about future plans with like minds, over a little libation, and good music.

The big brown truck dropped off this semesters schoolbooks yesterday!  After opening my box of goodies I was pleasantly surprised that LightRoom 4 will be on the learning agenda this time!  I already use LightRoom 2.6 and can’t wait to get my hands on 4!  To be able to do all my editing in one simple program will be wonderful!  All special touches will still be done in Photoshop (not sure what version I’ll be using yet this year), but will be making a change from CS4. 

Along with that little surprise also came “Criticizing Photographs,”  “A Short Course in Digital Photography,” and of course the main book for the whole photography program at SPC... “Photography.”  I received another copy of the photography manual, which explains chemicals, darkroom etiquette, developing processes, etc. 

This is going to be my best semester ever!  My head is much clearer… no distractions in my life, and I have surrounded myself with people who encourage what I do… rather than those who think I should be spending my time on other things.

I will be spending the next 18 days reading, gathering more supplies, and organizing for the upcoming 4 months.  I will also be adding some better glass to my arsenal of lenses, and planning at least one four day trip during that time to some exciting location outside the state of Florida… definitely somewhere that will enhance my portfolio, and will also fill some frames!

Until next time…

Love, Laughs, and Photographs,
Wendy
