yay!

just got home not too long ago from my class & my prints turned out wonderfully! here is a sample of what i turned in. i actually turned in a bit darker print than this...but of course i had to turn my *perfect* print in! ;) i also did some photograms which i will add to this post. i think they came out pretty wonderfully if i do say so myself but the ones i really wanted to use had some spotting due to the chemicals {i think i was in a rush that day too so they weren't my 100%...but oh well!}. i am really learning how to use the light enhancer & let me just say, A LOT of WORK goes into this! it is NOT as easy as it looks or sounds.

it takes a lot of TIME and PATIENCE. time and patience. and money. LOL! i think i went through about 10 pieces of photo paper tonight! ridiculous! that stuff is NOT cheap either! :) but i think it's a learning experience and it's something i'm definitely going to do with the rest of my life because photography TRULY makes me HAPPY. i look back on the many things i COULD be or COULD BE DOING and the ONLY thing that excites me is taking pictures {and art...i adore ART}.

so anyway...it is closing in on 11pm and i still have to wake up at 6:15am so i am going to say GOOD NIGHT all. :)

WOW! Those turned out so cool!! I am really proud of you! You really are quite the photographer and it seems like you really enjoy it which is great:-) I love the new haircut...my friend got one like that recently and I love it on her! I don't have hair that would ever even consider doing something like that so it's not for ME but it sure is for YOU! It looks great:-)
