Little by little

Well here goes. tHis is tHe first time in almost 10 years tHat I've looked at course materials and certainly tHe first time tHat I've applied myself to a visual medium. I'm really excited about tHis course  the art of photography and I've set up tHis blog to map my learning and development.


So, pHotograpHy, wHat do I know about taking pictures? tecHnically, probably just tHe basics. I know that tHere are various rules of compositions tHat have evolved over tHe centuries of western art that give a picture a sense or ratHer are calculated to draw tHe eye into tHe detail. So really the next question is do tHose same rules apply to non-western art and if not wHat can we learn from tHat. I feel like I'm getting aHead  of myself tHough;

Anyway, back to this learning log, I've set up my account, added a picture, registered with NUS and now have no further "admin" tasks to do. Ah, yes, now I have to learn how to see, and importantly, how to take tHat picture wHich will elude me (I hope) for the rest of my life, tHereby giving me endless opportunities to take pHoto's that will hopefully, speak to otHers too.
