    Outside My Window ~ 7.15.2012

    Happy Dancing All Around

    This weekend I am enrolled in a photography instructional course presented by creativeLIVE ~ the Posing Masterclass with Bambi Cantrell.  Volumes of information so far…some things I am already doing…some things I am learning to do….some things I never realized were so important but actually make a world of difference. During the morning session she mentioned she would be critiquing photographs submitted to the Flickr group created for that purpose after the lunch break.  As a photographer for  over 25 years and a judge in photographic competitions, I  knew she knew what she was doing…and I was a little hesitant to submit anything.  I mean, would my work hold up…
