And so it begins...

This morning I registered for a photography class at our local junior college, or better known as Chabot High, as we locals love to call it. It's only an intro to photography course, but hey, you gotta start some where....right?

Well, it certainly wouldn't hurt to learn a few things. Okay, so maybe more than a few things. More like a lot! I need all the help I can get at this point.

After all, someone once said:

Buying a Nikon doesn't make you a photographer.
It makes you a Nikon owner.

I looked to see what book this particular class is going to be using, but it is still undetermined, and class starts on the 22nd of this month. I'm just hoping the book that we will use is either one of the two I have pictured here. All the other day classes (I signed up for the evening class) show either of these two books as the selected course books, and I already own both of these books. I bought these books a while back ago, I thought I'd read them on my own. That never happened! So depending on what book is used, I'm already covered. Unless they really want to fuck with me and make be spend even more money an a book that I don't have.

Like the $109 just to register for the class wasn't enough!

Hmmm, and I still need to think about money for parking. Depending on how many time a week I will have to go on campus (other than the night of class itself) I'm not sure what the lab hours will be like. I need to figure out if it would be cheaper to buy a parking pass, or pay per day.

I guess I better start saving money for next term if I plan to continue to take all the rest of the classes within the course!

Hell, I'm already way ahead of myself. I'm starting to plan the studio that I want to set up and all the lighting, backdrops, and what-nots I will need. Well, if I'm gonna start getting people who are willing to pose naked for me, I'm going to need a place where I can do this and look at least somewhat professional. Sheesh!

Speaking of naked... I've already had a young man contact me asking, and I quote...

" Do you have any interest in photographing a
nude male who is inescapably bound with rope?"

Now I ask you, what woman in their right mind would pass up the opportunity to photograph a naked young man that you bound, inescapably no less, with rope?! Not I, that's for damn sure! *evil grin*
