Happy New Year! Remember how yesterday I was talking about new things to come in 2012? I’m so excited to start off the New Year with an announcement. The Digital Photography Basics e-course is now available “On-Demand.” Rather than waiting until I offer it, the course is now available at any time throughout the year. If you or someone you know got a new camera for Christmas, this course will be a great first step to learn how to create beautiful images with that new toy!
But I always feel weird talking about my courses, so instead I’ll share what a few past participants have said:
I have taken a photography workshop [before], and I must say, yours blew that one out of the water. I was never frustrated in your course; I gained confidence in my abilities, and I actually learned how to use my camera. I’ve learned so much in this course, and now I’m looking forward to moving beyond the basics to finding the art in my photography. Thank you so much for an awesome 6 weeks! – Sarah
I looked forward to the lessons every week. They were so well written and understandable. I had taken an “in – person” class before, but I learned so much more from this one. The lessons flowed well from one week to the next. The assignments offered great opportunities to practice. – Kathy
[My favorite thing about the course] was the simplicity of the technical information. There was no confusion – just straight forward… here’s the info of how and why, set your camera like this, go play. Perfect! – Marji
I loved learning about the technical aspects of photography. I’d always found it challenging before but you presented it in an easy, understandable way. I loved that you paired each lesson with photographs. That made everything so easy to grasp. – Annie
The class was well worth every penny I spent. Every time I pick up my camera, I’ll be using something you’ve taught me! – Cathy
It always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to read those quotes! If you want to learn more, you can visit the Digital Photograph Basics page and also listen to this interview about the class. You just might learn a little bit about me too!
One of my themes for 2012 is empowerment, and having participants leave my courses feeling empowered is an underlying goal of all of the courses I create. While I love the artistic and creative aspects of photography, it has to be built on a strong foundation of technical knowledge. Digital Photograph Basics is a great first step to build that foundation. I hope you’ll share this course with anyone who might be interested in learning more about digital photography.
Tune in tomorrow, for another announcement on my 2012 theme of connection. I can’t wait to share!

Great interview! The On-Demand is brilliant…
Thanks Cheryl!
Looks like a great E-Course, best of luck!
Hey, Kat! Great idea, and wonderful interview! Congratulations..what a nice start to the new year..well, for all of us! 🙂 Happy New Year, Kat!
Thanks for your kind words on the interview. Happy New Year, dear Juli!
Just listened to your interview, I think I am going to try and take your on demand course a bit latter this year. I think it will help me to take better pictures of my work.
Fabulous Karen! I think you would enjoy it.
I’m starting the Finding my Eye course this week, but would it be okay/workable to take both at the same time?
Hi Barbara! It’s really up to your time availability. Since Digital Photography Basics is on your own schedule, if you sign up and find that you don’t have time to do both, you can save the lessons for Digital Photography Basics for later when you have more time. Do whatever feels right for you.
Bring it on! But now, can’t get the button to work on my blog. could be the blog as there are issues with Blogger right now.
Yay Barbara! If you continue to have problems, let me know. There may be a problem in the code.
