My Photography Goals

I have been frustrated long enough in not knowing how to take great photo shots. Mostly, they're all trial and error. But you know, there are so many resources available to us, right here on the internet. So, I've finally decided to take time to learn. I'm so happy about that!

Anyway, here are some plans I have in the works...

1) I'm taking an online course to learn how to use my digital camera. My goal is if I master this, I will buy myself a digital-SLR, finally! I put it off before as I couldn't justify spending so much if I didn't know how to use it. Now I have a motivation... It's a WIN/WIN, yes?

2) Learn how to use my Photoshop Elements 4.0. There's also an online course I can take. Basically, it's a subscription to newsletters and such so I can learn how to use this software. This way, I can enhance the photos I take and make for a very compelling layout.....which leads me to goal #3......

3) Organize photos that I have taken that are still sitting in my harddrive. I need to do the following: (a) pick out which needs to be scrapped, then edit those, (b) print out the ones that aren't going to be scrapped and (c) delete the ones that will be neither. Do this SOON!
