Inspiration, education and new toys

I surf the net...a lot....

I am intrigued by blogs that have fabulous photos. I love to see what kinds of images people are capturing.

For example, Andrea Nay. One of my dreams is to be a photo journalist. One can only hope.

Portrait photography. There has to be a special gift for this. Laura Novak definitely has it. And then there are the newborns. Angela Crutcher captures some fantastic images that are just adorable.

I adore Kelle Hampton for her enthusiasm, how she embraces life and relishes in the joys of motherhood.

I receive a weekly newsletter on Thursdays from Digital Photography School. I love the articles and the online forum. You can join for free!

I yearn to know more, to be able to do more with my camera. I have pages bookmarked with post it notes in this book

and I need to make time to play around with the camera settings and read the book at the same time.

I finally got this after learning last summer at a Tamron seminar that plugging your camera directly into the computer was a recipe for disaster.

And while I was at it, I found these at a great price and got 2

I got them for my trip this summer. I am totally stoked about going on a photo shoot with my photography professor and several other students from my classes to Africa. We'll be using Thomson Safaris.

I was disappointed to find out that I was wait listed for the Portrait Photography class I need to take. I have my fingers crossed that I am able to get in. The semester starts in 2 weeks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for sharing! I have a Nikon D60 and I've been looking for resources to help me use it better.

I have the Canon 50D too. It was a lot more camera than I was used to, but I love it now. Hope your class works out!
