WELCOME!

Welcome to my Photography, Design, and Everything Else blog. I am a photographer for fun (meaning I don't know too much of what I am doing) and an aspiring graphic design artist. I have always been somewhat interested in photography but really started getting more into it after I had my son. Last Christmas I got my first Sony SLR Camera and the world of photography hasn't been the same since. I still don't know too much but the fact that I can now take some clear pictures works good enough for me. Upon following a few photography blogs I started to realize that even if you don't take a perfect photo, you can create one through photo editing. DUH! I started to become interested and learning new things through video tutorials. This re-sparked a interest I always had for graphic design. I dont have much time to go back to school right now so I have been self-teaching myself as much as I can. Since then I have begun to make flyers, business cards, and magazine ads for the store/dispensery 4ever20. I started this blog as a way to share some of my work with the world and so you can follow along on my learning journey to not only become a better photographer but graphic design artist as well. Along the way I will also be sharing whatever else I think I need to at the time. ENJOY!

New Class

>> Wednesday, September 16, 2009

So i started this new photography class. on my way to becoming a professional. haha really i jsut want to know how to operate my SLR camera manually. I mean I thought my pictures on automatic were pretty good until I started seeing other more professional pictures that gave me motivation to learn my camera better. I mean automatic is suppose to do everything for you right? except we forget it can't read your imagination and creativity so if you want a picture to look a specific way..sucks but you gotta create it yourself.

I took a photography class back in 2001 but as I can remember I dont think my camera had many manual settings at the time, it was just a point and shoot, so I dont remember really paying too much attention on all the key points. I think back then too I just thought the dark room was cool and developing pictures. Now that I am older and wise I appreciate the art of photography at its fullest. I'm happy to be able to share my growth with you as well.

My first assignment is due on Tuesday night. I have to take 16 different pictures working with Shutter speed and Aperture. Of course I will post my work so don't beg. :)

Off to shoot.
