As many of you know, I love photography but am very amateur. (Is that a correct use of that word? Anyway - ) I got my first DSLR a year and a half ago. It's exponentially better than my point-and-shoot for a gazillion reasons. And to date, I've learned a lot. But of course there is so much more to learn.
Being a SAHM, my time to do anything outside of taking care of my little men is very limited. So I read when I can and play with my camera as much as possible. They are also the best subjects, because seriously, they are the cutest boys - ever. And in pulling out another one of my photography books, I decided this time to really use it. It's called Visual Poetry, and it's been a great resource. But it's also a workshop in a book. There are different assignments at the end of each chapter from photo challenges (of course) to other reading and actions like consulting a local professional photographer. There's also a very helpful website that goes along with the book www.visual-poet.com.
I'm super excited about some structured instruction and challenges. So get ready for my photography journey along with some subject requests! Yes, I need people to photograph. :) So don't be shy when I come a'knockin'.
First assignment, watch the film Annie Leibovitz, Life Through a Lens.
