Me time

I've been wanting to take a photography class for FOR EVER.

But I always make excuses.

No time.

The girls.

No time.

No money.

No time.

The girls.

You catch my drift.

So with my Birthday money (yes @ 36 I still get the green stuff) I hemmed and hawed about whether or not to take a class.

Hemmed and hawed about which class to take.

Then came up with another list of excuses.  Same as the above put add.  Moving and packing to that list.

But then I told myself.  I

'll regret it if I don't.  

So I did.  

Here's my first picture I submitted to my class.  And I'm sweating, crossing my fingers that the critique is gentle.

Its all about shooting manual.  And I've no idea what I am doing.

Double happy she did 98% herself.

First we counted 100 pennies.

taped the stars & the stripes.
