JOURNAL 

1. Simply knowing how to take a picture. Now I know what to try to include and at which angles and what to avoid such as mergers and what light is bad. I think I know now how to take a photo that really depicts the emotions I had at the time I took the photo by photograph a certain part of a scene, the timing, the angle, the lighting etc.
2. I enjoy taking pictures of just about everything. Especially scenes or people or things that I will want to remember, either what they look like or how they make me feel.
3. Some qualities of a good photo is clarity, message, personally I believe a good photo is any that looks like what the photographer wanted it to look like.
4. I'm interested in learned more about film and photoshop. Film just because I love film pictures and photoshop because I don't remember how to do much from last year and I would like a refresher so I can use it in the future.
