(OCA) Photography 1 - The Art of Photography

Ok ... this is awkward :)

It's my first blog, so... I believe it's normal (!?). Anyway, let's get started.

Why am I doing this? Because I have to and because I'm beginning to like it already :)

I have to do it because this is going to be my learning log for a new photography course that I enrolled in, a few weeks ago (Jan 26 2010). It's Photography 1 - The Art of Photography, from OCA (Open College of the Arts).

And I'm starting to like it because I'm going to write about what I like most at the moment, and that's taking pictures.

And as with many new beginnings, this brings a lot of happiness and great hope.

Then why "through the rainbow"? Because, metaphorically, this is what photography represents to me. A transformation, a change for the better, from the dark colors of the storm to the breath-taking colors of the rainbow. Or at least, this is what I hope to become able to express in my photographs: beauty, peace, joy.

  1. taking a photography course back in 1980 was one of the best decisions i ever made. i still take the courses just to be around younger people who think differently. it opens up worlds i would not see otherwise.
    go for it! you'll do great.
