Course Valuables

I believe the most valuable aspect of the course is the fact that we have over ten people giving back to the community. I appreciate the lessons, techniques, guidelines and camera skills that are taught in the class. I enjoy working with the photos and applying what I have learned in this class to my own personal pictures. Bigger than that, however, I feel that aiding in finding these animals homes is the most valuable aspect of the course. The online format is alright and it works, however it relies on a lot of self time-management. Being in class daily keeps you on your toes and very involved. I sometimes feel disorganized and out of touch a bit when I am doing online classes. I think this class could be amazing if it was actually in class a few days a week. On the other hand, I cannot complain because I work full-time and having the online class has made it so I can actually graduate on time.

This picture is a representation of why I appreciate this class and what I find most useful. This dog looks so happy right now. This happy expression is probably seen once a day on this dogs face... the other half of the day this animal is caged. The ten minute walk that this animal may get once a day gives me insight on how important it is to find him a home. I enjoy this picture because it captures a small moment in time that I hope by photographing can increase to a lifetime of happiness once this animal finds a home.
