I'm currently at the beginning of a steep learning curve to teach myself photography. I want to be better behind the camera. I want to be much better in post-processing. So, along with learning to use my editing software, (something I unfortunately hadn't really bothered to do during my years on the road), I'm looking at dozens and maybe even hundreds of photography websites. Getting ideas. Studying the pictures. Putting together digital files for reference.
Like this one of children and family photographs:
Or this one of weddings:
The beauty of learning photography this time of year is that there are many opportunities to practice! Weddings. Family Sessions. Babies everywhere. High School Senior portraits.
Here's an example of a shoot I did a couple of days ago. A senior session at my house. This kid rolled up in a Porche that was passed on to him when his grandfather died. Of course he wanted pictures with it... and I made sure they were taken down the road, so I could get a free ride.
Next week, one of the senior sessions is with a young man who wants to be photographed with his albino python named Wilfred. No doubt that'll be an interesting shoot.
There you have it, Donna. Thanks for your continued interest in the much neglected blog. I'll get more writing on here eventually...

ooohhhh i'm loving it! If you ever need another model to practice on, I know one who comes real cheap in Spokane. OR you could come take photos of me and my staff and I'll make it worth your while! just sayin.
Yaaay! I've missed your blogs, I check every few days to see if you have added anything. So glad you're working on photography, you have such a great eye, gifted! But I also love seeing things through your words as well....hope that makes sense. Love you!
Good work! I think you have an incredible talent already, so am excited to see your view of things in the future! Good luck with the snake!
