i'm a terrible person to shop for during the Christmas gift giving season. i have a unfortunate tendency to purchase items i have told others i want prior to december 25th. one time at BYU i had told my mom i really wanted this movie soundtrack. she listened and bought it for me. however, i apparently had even less patience then than i do now, so i bought the cd. when i called joani to tell her she was less than thrilled with me. the moral of the story is that there is a 50/50 chance i'm going to buy what i told you i wanted.
when i was asked for ideas for this Christmas, i came up with one and only one thing i really, really wanted. (at least the one thing that others can provide/purchase/create for me - we all know the main thing i really want that no one has contol over.) i wanted a photography course.
in the event you've not been a frequent visitor to my blog, i am totally and completely obsessed with my digital SLR camera. i love shooting family, friends, landscapes, etc. i'm completely self-taught so i decided that it is time to take a class. however they are quite expensive so i asked for donations to the "teach pinky how to actually take pictures in the correct mode" fund. joani said she would make a gift towards the fund.
found a class through the new york institute of photography. it's $400. which is a bit steep. then the most amazing thing happened...groupon to the rescue! i got a notice that the course i wanted to take was 50% off. that's right - 50% off! there really is a santa clause! purchased the course with joani's blessing and am ready to overwhelm this blog with all of my awesomely artistic photos.
