I am starting a new course with OCA and I feel both excited nervous about this course.
The main reason for my mixed feelings is that this year has been quite traumatic and turbulent which impacted a lot on my ability to do photography - I hardly spent any time with my camera this year.
Now that the the year is drawing to a close, I feel getting ready to pick up my camera again.
The other reason for my nervousness is that this course - titled People and Places - is likely to take me out of my comfort zone quite a bit.
Although I have done some people photography in the past, this hasn't been the focus of my work to date. I am quite shy and photographing people hasn't been my favourite pursuit.
Still, I welcome this new challenge - I think it is coming into my life at a right time.
There is a lot to read and a lot to do which is the best thing about studying with OCA. It gives me the structure that I need to work on my projects and develop my ideas.
I am wishing myself good luck on this journey - how exciting!
