It’s final exam week and I have been in stitches.

I worried a LOT!

I was afraid of the unknown = of taking shots of people I don’t know.

But I’m here to report, it went so much better than I could have dreamed.

My friend “Sarah” – (she and her husband are professional photographers in the area) from class offered to go with me on my assignment.

I want a lens just like hers – It’s on my wish list…

It made a HUGE difference having my shutterbug buddy along with me.

Balboa Park – This is the place Jack assigned to me.

The atmosphere was just what I needed to help calm my fear.

I walked thru the door and didn’t turn back.

I’m so glad I did.

Here’s a little station taking shape. I thought it was too pretty not to capture.

I have more to report. So much so that I’ve decided to post a little series of our day in Balboa Park.

I’m so happy Jack pushed me into the great unknown. It’s something I wouldn’t have done on my own. Here’s a great big “SHOUT OUT” to Jack. Thank you! I have confidence I didn’t know existed.

Blessings – Debbie
