Hello Everyone - Week 1

Greetings everyone! My name is Joyce Fox. I am a Communications Major, scheduled for graduation 2011!!! I am 42 years young and live with my fiancée' Brian and our four "kids" - of the four legged variety. All rescue animals (of which I am a strong advocate - there is nothing like the love of a stray) - Sophia, our fearless guard dog, rules the roost and loves to sing with "The Stones", and Billy, Bailey and Stanley, our fearless attack cats - always sleeping on the job. We recently purchased an amazing home (our first!), in Huntington. It is 270 year old Dutch colonial and as you might imagine, it needs a ton of work. Last year, I won a digital camera through a raffle at work. Before that, my experience was limited to the innovation of the fabulous disposable camera. I like to think I am a pretty creative person and that I take a decent picture, but really, I have no clue what I am doing with this camera and I want desperately to improve my skills. I LOVE to take pictures of the "kids" and especially the house and the work we are doing. I want very much to document our progress. That said, I am really looking forward to this class, improving my technique, learning NEW tricks and having a blast. My picture is soon to follow.
