Don't be afraid to pursue the photography thing and if the knitting thing becomes just a hobby once again, it was still a fun ride while you had it. <br /><br />You have a real eye for photography! I would take the B&W class anyway if you can afford it. I know that you really won't be developing film for the rest of your life, but 1) it's fun! and 2) developing film and training your eye for B&W photography without relying on Photoshop is a skill I think you can really benefit from. The shooting alone can teach you the darks and lights of the hues, thus understanding the spectrum much better and also, you can learn so much from developing the film itself and ways you can change the developing without, again, relying on Photoshop. I think it would make you a sharper shooter - will certainly make you more picky about your natural light situation. I think you should go for it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317622627012365926.post-61942636738744659992011-05-16T03:21:43.320-07:002011-05-16T03:21:43.320-07:00Hi Paige,

I was so bummed because I can find PS, but it is expensive and is broken into 2 classes. It would cost me $500 to learn the darn thing!!! This learning stuff is expensive.

The portraits are wonderful - you do have a talent for that. And branching out is a great thing! I'm making paper beads and journals... I find that I give the beads over to the evening and wait for the weekend to work on my journals. Hope you take a class - even at a vo-tech, they still know what they're doing! {:-Dstorybeaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401051545867204851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317622627012365926.post-88962763748378194572011-05-11T16:42:02.586-07:002011-05-11T16:42:02.586-07:00I think you should take the class, if you can--my ...I think you should take the class, if you can--my intro class to photography in college (about 4 or 5 years ago) had us use film, too, and using that type of camera really helped me understand the digital camera I have now.

That sort of demands this sort of media change from time to time of us. The only way to satisfy yourself is to indulge in it. So do it! I say, if you're not into knitting right now, you can't force it. It's no big shame or deal to set aside the knitting for a while and focus on photography- you could even work on some stuff for shows. I guarantee you that most people selling photography have no formal training. Just go with your gut and do seek out new ways to learn!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317622627012365926.post-14301252772160709082011-05-11T14:13:56.352-07:002011-05-11T14:13:56.352-07:00Have you talked to our cousin, Paul, about this? ...Have you talked to our cousin, Paul, about this?
