Lines Assignment

I thought this assignment was really fun. It would have been great to have had more time and get really creative. It was pretty easy to find things to shoot since there are lines everywhere.

Let me tell you a secret...

...I find writing prescribed blogs REALLY difficult, which is why I have been sitting at my computer, without coming up with anything, for a span of time so ridiculously long that I am too embarassed to share with you.

I first became interested in photography, (as everyone has already heard me say MULTIPLE times) when my dad gave me his Minolta XD-11 (which I still shoot with) to play around with. I messed up settings and didn't balance the meter and shot roll after roll of film, with remarkably little turning out properly, or even being focused, for that matter. It fascinated me that I could manipulate the camera that way and actually be in control, even if the results weren't great. From there, everything snowballed and here I am :)

Over the next 10 months, I really want to learn the techniques to refine my images and get consistent results. I also want to concentrate on expression through photography and explore the creative side a lot more. Oh yeah, and all the business stuff. And blogging...I hope I get a LOT faster at blogging...

First Post

Hi everyone! Classes have started and I'm excited to settle into life as a photography student! I love portrait photography and photojournalism and I hope to get a lot of experience in these areas over the next ten months, as well as get a lot of exposure in other areas of the field as well. It will be fun to explore new things and to get to know everyone better!
