I am taking this course because I want to improve my digital photography, film photography and photoshop skills. I believe photography is a way to convey feeling in one moment and time, and I love that I get the opportunity to learn this skill in school. I also own my own business that is purely based around photography and I think that this course could really help me out in the real world too. This semester I want to really work on my photoshop skills. It is the skill that I feel most uncomfortable doing and I believe it could really sharpen my photography and help me create my own style. Overall I love photography and I want to keep doing it as long as possible, and to be successful at it. I believe that this course could help me accomplish that goal.
