The Introduction

Having begun this blog, I now realize that I need to offer a little explanation as to how I'm going to do things.

I'm very much a train-of-thought kind of gal.  I ramble and rumble my way through thoughts and ideas, often getting lost along the way.  Hopefully you won't find it too irritating.  

It's hard to say exactly where I am in terms of my photography skill.  I'm not a beginner and I'm not an expert.  I imagine a beginner might find this blog confusing and an expert would find it boring.  However, I have decided that it is what it is.  I'm confident I will be covering some ground I already know as I go through the books.  Review is always a good thing.  Especially for me since I have an absolutely terrible memory.  No, really.  I mean terrible.  Ask any family member that I've asked to same question to 12 times.  

Thus, beginners might keep from getting too frustrated as I will cover some basics along the way.  However, I don't intend to provide immensely detailed information, such as pictures of Photoshop as I describe the steps necessary to accomplish a task.  Heck, I probably won't even describe the steps.  I'll provide a link.  If someone's already done it, there's no reason for me to do it again here.  Oh, and I don't have time to anyway.  You can go read the other page just like me and then we'll both know the same thing.

Expert photographers may look down upon me as they realize how little I know.  I'm confident that I will not say something I should, like make sure you use Photoshop in a way to minimize pixel destruction.  (Well, at least I've said that one now.)  I will leave important information out, use the wrong terms, or even misguide people.  I'll do my best to get my facts straight before I write anything down, but I do not know everything.  In fact, there are certain very important bits of information that I do not have.  Thus, I'm very certain that I will make mistakes.  The roll of the expert in reading this blog is to provide feedback and set me straight when it is necessary.  Of course, the experts will likely be bored.  I suppose this really is the blind leading the blind.

So who is this blog for?  Anyone who wants to take the time to read it.  I do hope that it is helpful for some folks out there.  At the very least, it will be helpful for me to have everything recorded.  

Whew.  I feel better with that out of the way.  You've all been fairly warned.  Now close this tab and go read something else.
