So last night was my first class for photography. I met the teacher, and we talked about the stuff we'll be going over. Basically it's stuff I'm already trying to learn, but at least this way I will be taught by an official brooks masters degree holder, and I will be able to use the latest software... In fact, I'll actually be able to use my student discount and get Photoshop CS5 AND Lightroom 3 for a total of $275... thats a $900 value without the pirated versions! SWEET!
And seeing the criteria we are going over, I can't wait to get into the homework! I mean... I will be graded on creativity and technique... I'm seriously not worried about the grade at this point, all I want is a challenge. I'm thinking about asking the teacher to give me extra technical challenges to each assignment to help push myself to achieve what I need: motivation to do what I already love to do! Our first assignment, ironic as it is to me, is actually the only assignment I've been doing on a near daily basis for almost 2 years... Self Portraits! Oh boy, this is going to be interesting. Especially since the first part of the assignment is shooting, the second is learning editing software, or at least for me, learning new techniques. So I plan to go all out with every assignment and use this advantage to its fullest and most likely freak some of my collegues out with my whacky self portraits.
Anyways... I'm just really excited as you can tell, and I have no intention of hiding or denying it. The second I stepped into that room and asked if I was in the right place, I had already decided that whether she said i had the wrong classroom or not, this was where I belonged. =D
And since that's really all that's happened in the last 24 hours since my last post... or however long it's been, less than a day and a half I'm sure, I'll go ahead and cut it off here, but not before I share with you one last thing!
This just makes me want to go find an old SNES and have at it again. Oh 90's nostalgia, what would I do without you. =P
that photo is stunning. Cant wait to see what you produce as part of your course
ReplyDeleteI miss the 90s too
ReplyDelete@Mynx: Thank's. I'm already looking through the assignment list and I'm very excited to share the future adventures as well. Glad to have you along :)
ReplyDelete@fanny: don't worry, we can still get away with bringing some of the 90's back, unlike the 80's which have been otherwise banned from popular social status, the 90's generation is still in full swing. At least in my opinion. Maybe in another 7 years people our age will look back and remember how funny spongebob and youtube were, but I'll always be a 90's kid. Back when Disney and Nickelodean ruled the world, haha.
