Scrapmap & South America

I received an email today from my old fabulous online teacher Karen Russell. She sent it out to her students that took her photography workshop and it entailed an invitation to travel with her and Jim West, another amazing photographer to South America! It’s a trip for 20 attendees to work with amazing photographers and capture some of the greatest places in the world. I really wish I had the $$ to go, but maybe in the future I can get such an amazing opportunity such as this! Love her!

This opportunity was given through Scrapmap. Here is the site with the information:

Rules of Thirds

Karen sent over this handy Rules of Thirds diagram to her students. This comes in very handy.

Portal to get my mad Photography Skillz

Boooyaaa! Here is my portal into the wonderful world of learning photography! This is a sneak peak of my online class that I will be intently woking on for the next 8 weeks. I am absolutely thrilled to be able to do this!!! Exciting!!!

Look at all my classes!

I got on the list!

I got admitted into Karen Russell's online photography class! I'm thrilled and can't wait to start the 8 week online class with her! Leave it to my hubby to "get the hookup." He emailed her directly and said he wanted to get it as a Christmas gift for me! With Karen being a sap for love, she shot him the details and hooked it up! I start in March. Can't wait!

Photo Class - Brushing Up

Today was my first photo class in Los Gatos. It was quite a treck up into the hills to get where we needed to go. There were a few pretty nice views, but only one can take so many pictures of trees and rocks. I got a few practice shots with my newfound knowledge from the class.

Pascale Wowak Workshop

My scrappy friend (scrapbooker extrodinaire) Krista just told me about a photographers workshop that she's going to and asked if I would be interested in going with her. Of course, I said YES YES YES!!! It's a one day class up in the Los Gatos hills learning all the basics of photography and the use of our cameras. Pascale Wowak is teaching the course and I can't wait.
