well i would be happier not ot have to take classes at all! but might as well take something that i enjoy!

LOL...

True. I just love cooking and would love to take cooking classes, but if I'm not going to finish it...or if I'm not going to take a CAREER in it...I'm wasting my money. And I'm not sure cooking for an occupation is for me. I do love working for GM...but somedays I don't know...I'm tired...KWIM?

but i being healthy now and eating my chicken pot pie!

yep! but if i could do photography an a certain 2 days of the week and it pay at least the same amount would be great!

One you made? Or like a frozen healthy choice thingy?

There ya go! And those independant photographers can make alot of money. So next time the pres comes to AR...just be there and start snapping...see if you get published...you never know!

Okay I'm off to do the shower, read, bed thing! Night!

how about frozen banquet?

well i was researching the jcpenney portrait site.. no jobs here in little rock. now to check sears

Just read your nutrition. I used to love the stouffer's ones...WOWZA...anyway, I have been looking for another kind. Pot pies are so yummy!

nighty night!!!

ahh i dont care!!! hehehehe

Not just portrait jobs...what about nature? or even houses for magazines? Food pics are always wanted...Think freelance...or entertainment? Go to all the local concerts and get photos...send to MTV, Rolling Stone mag..etc.

Ah yes...it's the skinny minnies who don't ahve tooo :p

well i think i might need a little more experience first!

maybe i should try some of the stock photo sites like mama t. but i want to do portraits though

:mrgreen:

Ok, one down, one to go. already almost done with the first cup of coffee. Need to wok on finishing Duncan 's bday invites so i can get them out. i was going to have it someplace else but not sure. I guess I'll wait and see what I type when I do the inside when wtime place thing..hehehe

you should, then start word of mouth that you're available for portraits

Why don't you talk to Stephanie about hanging out with her when she's doing a portrait sitting. And maybe you can go take some pics of her and Selah together. She could give you a few ideas and you would have a better idea if that's something you would like to pursue more seriously.

yeah!!! i thought you finished those awhile back though!:rolleyes:

yeah.. even babe's parents have said that i should do photography

my big thing is that I don't have a camera to do REAL photography with...

but i guess that would be the first thing after getting some money in from it.... and it would be putting anything i made back into it especially if i get a new vehicle

This is how I got started Darcy. I have not had any "formal" training. Just experience and advice from my friend the retired photographer

and yeah i should go with her. or maybe i could talk to the guy who is doing the stuff for our church (who goes to church with us too) and see if maybe i could hang with them some...

what type of camera do you have again?

That is the very best way to learn.

I've being studying and reading everything I can online in photography forums.

And you can still start learning photography with a point and shoot camera. It's just when you start doing portraits and such, you're going to need something more. It's a long time till Christmas. But maybe if you get started studying now, when it's closer to Christmas, Santa will be ready to get you a camera. :rolleyes:

And I know that with your personality and energy, working with people in that type of setting would come easy for you.

This is what I have: http://www.buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=CNDRXT1855B

thanks for the confidence mama t!

Here is an online course in digital photography http://www.ed2go.com/utmecce/ it cost $85. It isn't a degree course. I am taking the PS CS2 class that starts on Wednesday.

and that is a digi slr right?

Canon Rebel Digital. It is an SLR digital camera. And it is the least expensive of the Canon line. I want to upgrade but DH says I am doing fine with what I have.

yep!

Well, the cards yes, just not the when, where, time for the inside...hehehe
I also have the bags i'm going to use for the favor. I may start that tonight, we'll see.

okay i have it bookmarked. i might try it this summer. dont think i could add anything else to the plate at the moment! gotta get myself through this class i am now!

hmmm if he changes his mind and your current one still works maybe we can make a deal?;)

ok. so SLR is where i need to go

it be good to do! that way you won't be so frazzled closer to time!

Darcy, GO FOR IT! You can make pretty good moolah.

You and Rebeca both! But Rebeca thinks she is getting a new one in May.

okay , now in the files i have sent u you have seen ALL of my shots so you know that i don't erase! ehehehe! so truthfully I know that there arent as many good as there are bad but is that ok?

Man! That is a great price. I paid almost double that for the body only when I bought mine.

so she doesnt' need yours! hehehe!

Yep!

okay when you say body only does that mean that you got NO memory card, batteries, adapters, etc..?

the parentals are home! wonder how long it will take for dad to realize.....:rolleyes:

Kids are the HARDEST to take photos of! My clients never see all of the shots I take.

Hidee ho!!!

hehehe well there ya go!

OH!! do you do all editting BEFORE you give any proofs to clients?
