It's autumn. Some leaves are already changing color, the nights are getting cooler, and the stores are filled with back-to-school supplies. Every August, I feel the rush of the fall -- of taking new classes, meeting new people, filling empty notebooks, and learning, learning, learning.
Next month, I'll be taking an online photography class on discovering your passion. Each of the eight weeks features a different subject matter: macro, wildlife, portraiture, etc. While I've had experience with each of these, it will be good to explore them all together. I've enjoyed the portrait work I've done so far, but I definitely don't see myself being happy doing it full-time. That's where the money is and there's plenty of room for a family-style portrait photographer in the area, but... money isn't happiness and being busy-ness doesn't mean success.
Besides the online course, I'm signed up for two shows and one workshop this fall. Then it's into hibernation mode, trying to get caught up on some projects I've been wanting to start, and giving myself time to explore some new ideas.
Let the learning begin...
