Thanks!
I've pondered this with my husband and we both agree that as I acquire my toys..if I need to take a course or two to learn I will.
We will soon be opening a business and it's just not the right choice right now..unless we really want to protray the "starving artist"!!!
For now..concentrate on a portfolio..and go from there!

Yeah there are a lot of photographer who never attend photography school. If it is about making money course on marketing and business would be better. There is a LOT of information on line.
Have you thought about Kelby Training. only $24.00 a month. The amount of information there is incredible.
Best of luck to you.

My mistake has been seeking new landscapes. I should have been seeking new light.

I've been thinking on this Kat and realized my first response was based on my own experience-you need a specific degree to do my job. But not so much for photography. The marketing idea is a good one. Also, look into the option of auditing courses. It's usually cheaper. YOu don't get a credit but you will get the info!
