The Teacher

Palomar Junior College

Today, for the first time 42 years, I enrolled in a college class. The topic, of course, is digital photography. There is good news and bad news. The instructor really knows his subject and is a talented photographer. The bad new is that he was very unfocused today. However I got a few gems from the day, and there will be some interesting photography assignments, so I’m going to stick it out for a while.

Great job. Keep up the good work, and hang in there. I am retired and taking my first college class trying to learn to take a good photo. It is stimulating, but sometimes hard. Good luck. I find spell check works wonders on ydslexia !

I find the occasional photo-class very stimulating. Sounds like you are enjoying it to. "pulling a Zak" - cracked me up!

ah, that's the 'Pulling a Zak' part explained!

Well done. The only bad part about going back to class is the longer the class is the longer my legs get in the desk.

You're showing your higher intelligence quota, I just finished a degree at JHU after 30 years. This sounds like a great opportunity, I'm jealous. And oh that dyslexai thing just check my typing its a good excuse for poor typing I guess. -BJ
