Photography

I have come to the conclusion that with as much as I like taking pictures, being in pictures, having pictures, etc that I need to make full use of this new camera from Andrew. I would love to actually start taking pictures on the side, to learn and to make some extra money.

My plan of attack is to find a photography class and to study up on my camera, try new things, and hopefully learn how to truly manipulate it and use it properly. It's going to take some time, but I am truly excited about this endeavor. I don't have many hobbies, so I believe this would be a great one to pursue.

Any tips or suggestions from fellow self-taught or educated photographers??

I think I am going to start by practicing taking pictures of food, Andrew said that's a good subject to start with. Also, I have a sweet friend who is expecting her first child next month (eek!! Can't believe we can say that...but Tucker will be here next month, in February!) and she is going to let me practice  and a take a few maternity shots of her in Tucker's room.

I cannot wait to get started on this journey, not going to lie, it makes me want to go cook something, so I can take some photos!!

Update: While I can tell that this journey will be fun, it's also going to be frustrating. I am already trying new things on my camera, and if you know me, you know I want it to work instantly, but it's not.
