For a number of years now photography has been hobby and passion of mine. But it has always been just that a hobby. I bought my first DSLR (Canon 550d) a couple of years back with my tax return and everything I know has been self taught. My skills and knowledge come from: reading online tutorials, magazines/books, the instruction booklet a few times, and most important of all; taking lots of photos.
My interest and commitment has wavered a few times but right now I love photography more then ever. I have been looking at photography courses for some time now, and finally I have found one that I can squeeze into my busy work schedule (and budget). Starting on the 18/06 I will start my two year, part time course of a Diploma in photo-imaging. Fingers crossed this takes me in a new direction in life. I couldn't think of anything I'd rather do in life than be a photographer. Below are the photos I submitted to get accepted into the course.
