CreativeLive
Thanks to a member of a photography group I belong to, I found this site, CreativeLive. Based out of Seattle, they offer online classes in a variety of subjects although it looks like photography is the mail focus. If you watch the classes live they are free, if you would like to watch at another time or keep the lessons for later use, you may purchase the course. I signed up for a couple of courses. A 10 week Fundamentals of Digital Photography course and a 3 week Creative Eye course taught by Art Wolfe. The Fundamentals course is $79 while the course is running and $129 after it is over. A price will be listed for the Creative course once it has started. I'm excited to learn and grow and maybe end some frustration. I'm not sure I can attend all the courses or that Calissa will let me listen to the whole thing, but I'm gonna learn something! It looks like they have portions of the class available for viewing on the site too. I watched the first 10 minutes of the Fundamentals course and wish I could devote the time today to the rest, but chores must be done.

Some favorite photos
I'm good at finding photos I love (and I mean LOVE!) on the net and losing them again. Today, I came across a few I've been searching high and low for as well as some new ones.
This photograph just draws me in. I could stare at it for hours. I want to be on that ridge with the wind whistling around me, feeling the sand nick my skin, as the sun sets. It has a lonely, almost apocalyptic feel, yet peaceful and only slightly melancholy. I just love the quality of light. Shot by Jason J. Corneveaux.
This another one done by Jason. Again, it's more surreal, but I find it playful.
This is a new favorite. I actually gasped when I saw it. It won Panoramio's First Prize in Scenery and no wonder. I'd give up toes to be able to take pictures like this, maybe for just one picture like this. Taken by FWWS in the Ukraine, you can see more of his work on his Panoramio page. Trust me, this is not an isolated instance of great talent.
And now I have to go find a photograph I lost while tracking down all the links for this post.
