Home stretch...

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Only one week left of class and then 2 weeks for 6 exams. I'm looking forward to a nice long Christmas break, and getting a chance to go back home for a while. There is only so much of the island I can take at a time LOL

I've recently had several people approach me regarding my pictures, which is very cool! Several people have wanted copies of photo's I had taken of them/their horses during horse shows this summer. I've also approved the use of my photos in the MQHA journal for some of the youth group members. Another approached me for a donation of one of my photos for an auction put on by a non-profit organization. And a classmate asked me to take photos of her and her horse and was very willing to pay me! I'm enjoying the recognition, though I'm not sure if I want to go into selling my pictures. I get more enjoyment out of just taking them, getting good shots, and having people appreciate them.

However I have had the idea of making a little portfolio for myself of the shots I like the most. :) From what I read, it can be tricky to get your photos printed with the same appearance as on your computer screen. I'll have to experiment with a few places to see how they turn out.

Better get back to studying!

Long weekend ahead!

I am amazed it is the long weekend in November already! It seems like just a few weeks ago I started school. Now we only have 3 weeks of classes left! :) Which is both scary and exciting.

My parents are coming for a visit this weekend, and I hope to be a good host with a pot roast dinner and tour of the school. Hopefully the weather will cooperate a bit for their travels!

And trying for a self portrait type... for some reason it looked kind of cool cropped.
