I know I mentioned her before but I really would like to introduce you to an AMAZING photographer, Nicole Hill Gerulat. She is the talented hand behind A Little Sussy, a blog I've been following religiously for close to two years.
I don't think it's any secret that I have an interest for photography. I try to put as much effort as I can into the photos I post on this blog. But did you know that the outcome of my photos are about 50% camera / 50% Photoshop. Not the dumbed downed versions but the actual Photoshop. I didn't even have an SLR for the first year I posted on Grosgrain.
If you know your way around PS, you can take a photo with a 1.3 MP camera phone and end up with something worthy to hang on your wall!
Take a look at this completely artificial world I created with a few tips and tricks in Photoshop. Imagine the possibilities when you combine PS with other Adobe programs like Illustrator and InDesign. You can stop paying someone to make your own headers and make your own! I used Illustrator when making my TumTum Tree blog header.
Nicole and a few of her talented friends are offering some VERY useful classes to all you bloggers (and non-bloggers:) out there for a very affordable price in locations that may be close to you.

ALSO, keep your eyes out for nicoleclasses.com launching online in January featuring classes in Photography, Photoshop and Illustrator.
Fortunately for me, I've learned these programs in college and in my work. They are not as difficult to learn as you may believe. Once you have the hang of the way Adobe programs run, it's very easy to learn them all.
That being said, I've never taken a photography class and I have ALWAYS wished to participate in one. I majored in journalism and had many opportunities to take photojournalism classes, but for one reason or another (mostly money) I never took one and have ALWAYS regretted it. Finally, I'll be taking the extra step and attending the Photography 101 class in DC. Maybe I'll see you there!
