This was a stressful goal to complete – I dragged my heels on looking for a place until I started feeling that I’d left it too late. Turns out that I had no trouble, though, when I put my mind to it, and my son and I found an adorable place in Cotati, about five minutes’ drive from my school. We’ve been there about a week, and we LOVE it so far. YAY for Sonoma County. :)

Cotati!

Meh

I haven’t yet read the entire book, but I’ve read enough of it to consider this goal “complete.” I tried, for more than year. It’s not that I don’t think it’s a good book. I think she does have some good ideas. I just never really made a “connection” with the program.
Multiple Settings
13 months ago
I’ve made a lot of progress with this. Yesterday I finally figured out how to control multiple settings at the same time. For this photo, I manually set the shutter speed, aperture, and “ISO.” Not to mention the flash. Having this sort of control is really helping me improve my photographs.
