Learning to Learn Again

I have had so much fun this week along with some serious frustration, too while learning Photoshop. I know there are GOBS of people out there who have perfected working in the various forms of PS and it's been around awhile, but I am just now learning.

I'm finding that I haven't really made myself learn something new in a long while. And my blonde brain doesn't work as well as it did in college! LOL!! Of course, last year when I went back to working full time as a speech therapist after being gone from the field for ten years caused me to have to learn (or re-learn) some things, but it wasn't for fun....just a paycheck. Now that I am totally doing my photography kick and learning as much as possible before putting my website "out there" with my name on it I want to REALLY understand what I'm doing therefore I must learn new things. LOTS of new things.

I am so grateful for the time and opportunity to learn something that I have been passionate about for YEARS and now it's really coming to fruition.

This pic above is just one of my first little pride and joy experiments. I always have to have my friend write "pandaleidoscope" on my pics because I have not had the software nor knowledge of how to do it.

NOW I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF. Woohoo!

I can assure you there is more fun to come as I venture into Photoshopville!

  3. You've done a GREAT job! Give yourself credit, too--PS is complicated! I didn't have the patience (nor the passion, probably) to stick to learning it!
