Finidng your joy ALI 500px 

GIVEAWAY : Three people will receive a spot in willette's new fun, laid-back online class Finding Your Joy - Capturing Your Life Through Photos.

When you really look at all the photos you have of your family, how many photos are there of YOU?  I discovered after printing my family photos for the year, that I was only in a handful of photos out of over 1000 photos. Finding YOUR joy is my personal quest to better document my own life (and my quest to help you do the same). I would hate for my children to see all of our family photos and wonder where I was (when in actuality I was there…I was just behind the camera). This three week online e-journey will help you explore how to capture your own life in photos and how to escape from always being behind the camera.

Class begins September 7, 2010, and the lessons are emailed once a week and are presented on a private class forum website. Along with weekly lessons are free template downloads, video tutorials and photoshop and photoshop elements video tutorials. The class is a do-it-at-your-own-pace class….you can download the materials and do them at a time convenient to you. Along with the forum is an online photo gallery to share your assignments if you choose (but sharing is not a requirement).
 
The class fee is $45. To register visit here. To learn more, and to find out about willette’s wildly successful Finding the Joy (upon which this mini class is designed) visit here. Please note that no discounts may be used for this or any workshops. Visit willette on the web at http://willettedesigns.com/.

Recommended class materials include: a camera (any kind), a photo editing program such as photoshop or photoshop elements, a tripod (recommended but not required), and a desire to capture yourself and your life with your camera. For those who sign up, welcome packets will be emailed by September 1, 2010 with pre-homework.

    I am very interested in learning some new photography skills. Why not learn by working with myself!

    This sounds like a great class to inspire me to get out from behind the camera! My daughter will be happy as she is usually the subject and would love to turn the tables on me!

    Yet again - fingers crossed. Even if I don't win, I think this might be one course I'd actually pay for!

    Why don't we take more pictures of ourselves? I know I take tons of pictures of other people, but not of me. I have thought about getting someone to professionaly take mine but never have. It is sad really - I think my kids need pictures of me as much as I need pictures of them. Great Giveaway Ali!

    What a marvelous chance to partake in something we don't have offered up here in Alaska. Island living has a few drawbacks but offers like this make the trade offs unimportant. Thanks for the chance...
