I used to be an art teacher, and now I am not. It has left me with a little whole in my heart and I miss it terribly. The problem is that the elementary schools here do not have regular art classes. We moved here and I found myself without a job. I'm on the sub list, but I rarely get called. I also volunteer in the classroom and try to be involved with the arts as much as possible. I do miss working with the kiddos.
Before I taught art, I worked for a small publishing company and did some commercial photography. I am getting back into the business. I was a bit hesitant at first, as I though that maybe the town was a bit saturated with photographers. I changed my mind, as there also seems to be plenty of room for one more dentist or chiropractor!
So here I am. I love to take pictures and always have.
I worked in a camera shop while I was in high school. I was ably to buy my first SLR while I was there. It was a Ricoh and I loved it! The store was a great place to learn about photography, cameras, film, paper and a great place to learn from the photographers that would frequent there.
In college, I was a studio art major.I majored in sculpture and also took several photography courses. The darkroom was my home.
What a surprise to come back for for college reunions and find that only one darkroom exists and that the rest of the classrooms are filled with macs!
So, now I am trying to develop my website. I've gone through 7 different logos, several different color schemes, with music and without, etc. I wonder if I was designing this for someone else, if it would be so difficult. I just cant make up my mind, and when I do...I question it. I'm afraid to publish it, but I think I'm getting close.
Stay tuned........
