Welcome to my blog/journal, which I will update as often as possible
in between studying, working and parenting.
Photography has helped me have more patience as I have grown
older, waiting for a 2 year older to smile or look the right way can
be enfuriating at times.
So in my infinite wisdom I have decided that to better my knowledge
and skills in photography to apply to the OCA for my first course in
hopefully what will become a degree, called the ART Of Photography.
Now of course comes the ultimate challenge..... Sitting in wait for my
course notes to arrive, I have to admit i'm excited at the prospect of
learning things about photography that I can not teach myself and
having projects/assignments to stretch my abilities further. I am also
a little nervous about going back into studying with the work load that
I already pace myself at weekly, in between my photogrpahy business
and looking after my two wonderful children, studying really hasnt had
a factor in my life for over 10 years now. But I am determined and right
now at this monet in time the waiting game starts..
Two of favourite books over the last two years for tips and hints have
been '500 Lighting, hints, tips and techniques by Rod Ashford' and
'Glamour Photography by Rolando Gomez' although while I am waiting
for my course books to arrive I have decided to actually read them page
to page.
I have also ordered 'The Digital Photography book' Collection Volumes
1-3 by Scott Kelby for some light reading just while i do the waiting game.
Next blog post will be the day I receive my coursework.
