Since Ive been here, Ive taken two photography classes through GPP. They were very informative, I enjoyed the teacher, and I now have much better understanding of my DSLR camera. Of course, part of that understanding will only come from me using the camera much more than I do so that part is on me. There are times when I see a picture in my mind but cant quite get that picture inside the camera. I learned then, that some pictures require a certain lens and that with said lens, you cant get that picture no matter how hard you try.
However, a certain part of it, a LARGE part of it, requires YOU. The person with the creativity (or the lack thereof in some cases). I dont think it helps that I have been uncomfortable with taking my camera out in public. I love candid photography and just dont feel comfortable doing it here. But this is where I live...and Im still working it out in my mind because I do love it.
But getting back to the creative part...Im taking a class soon called creative beginner with Jay Alonzo. To compare off the bat, the price difference is notable. 200 dirham compared to 200 dollars. I hope this isnt a "you get what you pay for debacle". I checked out his web page and he does have nice pictures. I will see what comes of it. And I wonder if Ill be sitting in this house going crazy with the dreaded "take a photographic work of art of something in your apartment" assignment.
In the meantime, I have things to occupy my time like reading about photography and other things. My how I miss having a bookstore. Theres also the matter of dishes calling...but my stomach's call is louder.
