* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1. Fun and Silly Assignments. A daily assignment to get you out shooting and thinking like a photographer.
2. Your Camera. Nuts and bolts talk to help you get more comfortable with — and get more out of — your digital camera.
3. Photo Fundamentals. What it comes down to: Light and Composition.

Here’s the scoop:
• Every day for two weeks (14 days), you will receive a link to a new PDF worksheet that will look kind of like this (click to enlarge):
• You will receive an daily e-mail from Steve where he will further explain concepts that might not fit on a worksheet (including answers to questions from you!).
• Your daily assignment will have you photographing people, places and things… the whole nine yards and then some.
• A “Photo Silly″ flickr site will be created so you can (optionally) share your photographs and get feedback from your fellow students, as well as enjoy and learn from others in the class. (However, if you are shy about posting your photos, Steve will be available to you to look at your work via email.)
• Steve will be available the entire two weeks by email to answer ANY questions you have. (All Q&As will then be posted on the class blog so everyone can benefit!)
• The class PDFs will be up and available until September 15th, 2011, if for some reason you need to miss a day (or a week!). The blog and flickr sites will be up “forever.”
• Steve is an experienced photographer and teacher, and aims to help his students begin to develop their own unique photography “voice.” He writes, “This class is about looking at the world a little differently through your digital camera, and bringing more photography into your art, and more art into your photography.”
• Requirements: Any digital camera that you can download images to a computer and a basic photo-editing program. (Steve suggests either a trial [free] version of Photoshop Elements or Picasa by Google, also free. These are both easy to use and he will be giving instructions for both as we go along.)
• This class for anyone with a digital camera, a computer, and a willingness to take some chances.
• The first day of class is June 13th! Sign up today!
Cost: $35

This looks like so much fun. I just signed up for a photography course at the local college to learn more about my digital camera. Would be a great fit. Will have to ponder this for sure!
I’m so tempted, but I’m taking Pikalands Bootcamp for Artists and there’s a 2 week overlap. It’s all I can do to keep up with the Bootcamp assignments. Hope you’re giving this course again.
I would love to take this class but I just signed up for a 5 week class that will take all my free time…with a family and a 40 hour job. If this is offered again please let me know.
Just wish I had taken this before my trip to Alaska! Looking forward to it!
This sounds like a grteat time. I just finished a 21 day creativity Journaling course which I did using photography so this will be fun. Any chance I get to learn more about my camera and picture taking is an opportunity I want to have.
Thank you
Thank YOU for signing up! It’s going to be a really fun way to approach your photography, I think. I’m going to be learning along with you! xoxo, Carla
I am very interested – How can I pay for this if I do not have a PAYPAL account? Love to hear more about this … I would love to take this class … Love, love, love photography!

I’m in! I have zero time, but this sounds like too much fun to pass up.
I am SO in! I’ve been waiting very patiently for something like this to come along 🙂 Plus the Art of Silliness class that I took earlier this year was super fun! Thanks for the reminder e-mail 🙂
i’m getting a new Olympus point & shoot this week, so this seems like the perfect activity for me to get out and break in my new toy. looks like loads of fun!!
I think I am in too. I want to buy a new camera so this class might help me figure out what features I really want…
I am SO excited ~ I just signed up for this fun class ~ I have wanted to take a class for the longest time, but I was afraid to take something “too” technical ~ This sounds like great fun. I cannot wait to get started!
~Kristine
Yay! Thank you for signing up, Kristine!
Hope you have this one again. I’ll be out of town for the second week. 😦
Thank you for your interest! There are definitely plans to run another photo class in the future; if not this exact one, something similar!
I am Sooooooo glad you sent out this nonnewsletterly email. I totally lost track of time. I am doing it. I am wicked busy this summer and very much looking forward to adding some SILLY work!!! ;D wouldn’t miss it.
Thanks for the reminder.I think I’ll do this. Looks like tonsoffun! Anna

I told myself no more online classes until I finish the 3 in progress…but this sounds very cool.
Haha… thanks for signing up, Lisa!
I’m a bit of a thinker but today I signed in! I hope it isn’t too late?
I’m eager to learn more about photography with fun!

I keep looking at this, but the timing is not great for me – I so want to do it – can you let me know in advance of another class like this?
so tempted, but I kn0ow I wouldn’t do it justice right now – crazy time
Thanks
Kate
Dear Kate… thank you for your interest! The best way to keep in the loop for new class offerings is to sign up for my e-newsletter (monthly). Just let me know and I’ll add you!

When is your next online course? I could sure use some tips, I am very amateur/ish……
Hi – just found this through another blog link. Would love to know if you plan running it again. i need to break away from the auto setting, but book learning doesn’t work well for me.
All the best.
