A Passion for Pictures

I have developed a passion for pictures.  Or rather, an old interest has been sparked into a new passion for pictures.

I am a writer.  I just love words.  If a picture is worth a thousand words just think of all the writing I can do.

With my new passion comes a desire to learn.  I have a lot to say, and I need to understand how to take those pictures so that I can say it.

Our local college campus offers a six week course for the beginner in the basics of photography.  It’s time now to learn how to use my camera.  I’ve only had it for a year.

Learning requires that someone teach me.  I’m not sure how easy that will be, but I am giving it a shot.  My DSLR (Nikon D700) and I head off to class once a week where we are getting to know one another.

I’ve only been to two classes and already I am amazed at how much I don’t know.  Actually, that’s a little intimidating.  But I am determined to learn.  Of course, it helps that I am loving it!
