I took the entry level classes for digital photography from Ritz (shameless plug, they have been extremely nice and helpful). I have had some B&W classes in my teens and also I’ve been self studing for digital for some time so the class was really a review. The class was also a teaser for the more advanced class that I’m still waiting to take. I did learn a bit about SLR lenses which has payed off with my picture taking. However my 19-55 lens busted and a newer 25-90 lens I bought sometimes doesn’t feel wide enough. I’m going to bust the piggy bank for a nice wide lens soon. Arg, darn Canons with the 1.6 multiplier. Lately I’ve been taking before and after pictures of houses I fix up with my friend. The clients really get a kick out of the work we do, I even print out color hardcopy for them. I would like to hike around my local area and soak up more nature with my camera. /ww
