This is for you, Heather gal! Sorry for making you wait 6 days for an update. ;)

I started out this year taking a painting/drawing credit, but wasn't doing much with it. The first semester I pretty much just drew random eyes, fruit, flowers, and prisms, the only things I knew how to do! I also turned out a couple paintings. Big whoop! :) So at the start of this semester, we decided to switch the credit to my true love -- photography! I bought a digital point-and-shoot (a Canon A530) last March, and had been spending wayyy more time on photos than painting or drawing anyhow. By switching to photography, I can now spend time researching it to my heart's content in the name of school. Yes! =) I found a great website that has tons of tips and advice: http://www.digital-photography-school.com/ .
I might be taking a photography course next school year at a art school right near my house. My sister Mary took it when she was a highschool sophomore. She got a full scholarship once we told them how many kids we had, so I should be able to get it as well! :) I'm also planning on going to a community college in a couple years to take photography courses. These classes can give me a good foundation, but actually getting a good camera will teach me a lot, and I can experiment with perspective, angles, color modes, dadadada.
My camera has features I really like, but has limitations with what I can do. So I'd love to get a digital SLR, which would give me much more to work with, better resolution, exposures, etc. But they're expensive! I'm s-l-o-w-l-y saving up for one though. I'm willing to put money into this, since having a good camera can last me for a while. I can use it whenever, for a variety of things. I'm planning on really getting into photography in the next few years, and possibly eventually starting a small business, if people like my pictures enough.

I would love to teach you anything I pick up, and I will show you the pictures I take. And we definitely need to have a photo shoot, that would be amazingly fun! (With Cherish too!) And I certainly don't mind long comments. ;) Love you girl! - J
