I haven’t done much photographing in the past, so I’m very open to trying new things and photographing a variety of subjects.  I enjoy photographing landscapes as the natural beauty of nature often makes for a good picture.  I also think it’s interesting to take something a little less grand than nature and try to capture something in a photograph that might not be particularly exciting in person. I enjoy photographing scenery or objects more than people thus far, but I with the right skills portraits can be very interesting as well.

I’m very interested in learning about photography and how to create interesting pictures, so I think that just the idea of developing a new skill motivates me to do my best and work hard to improve my abilities.  Having a quality finished product that I am proud of will also motivate me to be successful. In order to help me be successful, the teacher can obviously educate me on the skills of a subject, but also be accessible to me when I need help or even just small pointers to help improve my work.  I think giving students enough of a time frame to complete assignments is also a big factor in making sure we are successful.
