Exciting things are in the works. After a lot of thinking, I decided to go back to school to eventually earn my Master of Fine Arts in Photography. I have not been in college in 15 years so I am nervous about that.
I have to admit that I am really excited about being able to play around in a darkroom, something I have not been able to do in 15 years. While digital is fantastic, there is just something special about film. I cannot explain it. I can smell the chemicals already.
Someone asked my why I was going to get the degree. Other than to improve my skills (because everyone can improve in one way or another), I would love to be able to teach. And honestly, that piece of paper hanging on the wall would mean a lot to me, and my children. How can I make them understand how important a college education is if I never finished my degree?
It does not hurt that I have a goodly amount of GI Bill available to me and that I will qualify for the Georgia Hope Grant.
