I am still looking thru my manual.  Although I started researching other avenues such as internet, websites, blogs, etc.  I really cannot wait until I start my classes.  My cousin is wanting to go to them with me. I think that might be fun to do with someone.  I have also been thinking about broadening my horizons. What I mean is I want to do shoot more than landscapes, animals, architecture, etc.  I previously thought I wouldn’t enjoy shooting people except for in action type photos. But I now realize that I do like some photos that I seen in weddings, boudoir, babies, and maternity type photos. I like black & white photos. I like the emotion that you can see and feel from the photos which I guess that is what every photographer tries to portray, right?
