HELLO AGAIN!

It's been a long time since I've updated my blog.  Finals, holidays, and personal matters have kept me away.  I'm back now though and ready to post.

Today's topic is web page design.  OK... I'm not that great at web pages.  I updated my wix site today and had to start over numerous times.  I can't seem to wrap my head around what I'm supposed to do.  This site promises "drag and drop".  Drag and drop?  where?  I've managed to create a site but it's really a long way from where I'd like it to be.  The templates seem hard if not impossible to edit.  I'd like to scrap the whole thing and start over but....guess what!.... I'm not sure how!  I suppose I should have really taken that Dreamweaver class at YC....  maybe next semester. 

Speaking of semesters.  This one has started.  I'm just taking one class this time.  Film photography.  Wowzer.  All those chemicals and timers!  New stuff to learn!  I'm looking forward to learning darkroom techniques.  Although I'll probably always shoot digital (because I so love editing) I think it's important to appreciate where we come from.  After all, where would photography be today without Ansel Adams or Edward Weston?

Yavapai College Art Gallery is hosting it's student exhibition through January 28th.  If you get a chance, go by the gallery and check out some of our talented student's work.  Make sure to check out the images by Cindy Travis.  I love her work.  She is amazing!

I still have room for some senior sessions!  Contact me for details!

Here's a link to my updated website.  New images have been added to my portfolio!
