"A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety." ~Ansel Adams

Photography class week 1

So I have never had any formal training... my training has been exposure to really talented photographers. As part of my New Years Resolution, I signed up for a photography course. Last week was my first class and it looks like it is going to be a great class! My first assignment was "emotion." What a perfect week to be able to capture emotion here in the Nation's Capitol! I don't love the two photos I submitted for "emotion" but I love the history and meaning behind them.



This photo was taken 2 blocks away from my apartment where an awesome Brasilian drum band played. I love the bedazzled Obama hat and this woman's expression and as she soaks in the music and the historic moment!



This photo was taken inside a hangar at Andrew's Air Force Base while the former President was speaking prior to his departure to Texas!
