Eliana's Photo Shoot

A few weeks ago Patty and I took Eliana out on a photo shoot. Eliana had been wanting me to take some pixs of her so we made a day of it. Patty set her up and I took the pixs. I have had a hard time picking just a few to share. I will put more on Facebook.

Photoshop Class is Over

Last night was the last Photoshop class. I am so sad. I have loved taking the class. I have learned so much. I enjoy playing with pictures and learning all the different things Photoshop can do. In the 6 weeks we only learned the basics. There is so much more to learn. I wish the class was a whole semester. I could spend all day playing with my pictures and never get tired. Next week I start a Digital Photography class. I took it a couple years ago and didn’t get the maximum out of it because I hadn’t taken Photoshop 1st. This time I plan to learn as much as possible. I bought a new little point and shoot camera 2 weeks ago. I am just now learning how to use it. I got a Panasonic Lumix. It is so fun to shoot with.

If I could go back 40 years – I would have gone down a different path and become a professional photographer instead of an accountant. I have always loved taking pixs and wanted to be a photographer but went the accounting path to please mom. Too bad people can’t have do-overs. But it is never to late to go after a dream.
So here I come.
