Taking a big step

I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but my computer is acting up again--darn thing--so I couldn't really post anything. Sorry.

But, as most of you know, I enrolled in an online photography workshop and......it started today!! I'm very nervous because so far it seems I am the ONLY one who doesn't know how to shoot in manual. :-(

But, I am still tremendously excited to be doing something like this for myself. I know how cliche it sounds to title this post as "taking a big step," but for me, this really is HUGE. I have to but myself out there; I have to expose myself to people who are going to critique what I do; I have to have 4 PERFECTLY EXPOSED PICTURES IN A VARIETY OF SETTINGS BY SUNDAY!!! Whew, I feel better to get that out of my system. But it's true. They have to be perfect. I have to post them online. People have to critique them. I have no idea what to shoot.

But it's all good. I mean, what if one day I can answer the question, "What do you do for a living?" by saying, "I have a photography studio that caters to children and families."

I mean, what if?! ;-)
