Juliette Gold
March 19, 2012 at 9:44 amWow! This opportunity is incredible!
I would like to become a better photographer because it is a skill I’ve always wanted to develop but never quite found the opportunity. School always came first. And now that I have the time, I would love to become a better artist.

March 19, 2012 at 9:57 amI don’t want to become a better photographer, but my boyfriend does! I would like to enter on his behalf because as much as he wants to improve, he seems unsure of how to begin. I’d love to help support his work. 🙂

March 19, 2012 at 9:58 amI’d like to be considered for this because I think a person is never too old to learn something new, to grow, and to become something better than they are right now.
Anng
March 19, 2012 at 10:02 amThanks for the opportunity! I’d like to carry on the role of family archivist from my late father. If it wasn’t for him snapping away all those years, a lot of wonderful memories would be gone!

Jess
March 19, 2012 at 12:19 pmI’m an okay photographer, but I would love to improve so I can highlight photos on my blog and get a new perspective on things. I find that I get in a bit of a rut in terms of composition and how I approach items, objects, or people that I’m photographing.
Brianne

March 19, 2012 at 2:53 pmI’m understanding how important it is to ‘never stop learning’. Would love to win this great giveaway!
Tan
March 19, 2012 at 3:24 pmOh wow! I want to become a better photographer because I’ve been into photography since junior high when i was in the Photography Club (yup I was that kinda geek) but have never done more with photography than take ‘a nice shot’. I want to do more than snap a photo. I want to understand the technical and artistic side of photography
Meg Shaw
March 19, 2012 at 4:34 pmI want to better my skills of photography because I feel that the action of taking photos is a constantly evolving skill and without my camera in hand, I would never be the same person that I am. Photos capture memories and cherished moments and I am captivated by the love and sheer joy that they can document for eternity. I also want to travel and understand this unimaginable, amazing world and I think, with truly beautiful photography, I can begin to do just that.
Amanda
March 19, 2012 at 4:37 pmI would love to start a food blog! All my friends keep telling me to make one but I want to become a better photographer first. Since they won’t be able to taste my creations on the screen – my pictures have to look super appetizing! I currently just snap shots on my phone and would love to win a spot to take this course : )
Katie
March 19, 2012 at 6:28 pmI would love to be a better photographer so that I can take better photos for my blog and maybe even turn my hobby into a career one day!

March 19, 2012 at 9:00 pmI want to be a better photographer before I have kids. (And, hopefully that is happening sooner rather than later…) I want to be able to capture their joy and delight.
christy
March 19, 2012 at 9:10 pmBetter pictures will allow me to tell the story of Zerolandfill – a place where expired interior design samples are given new life with artists and educators. I blog and manage all of communication about the 15 locations and better photos will help me convey the magic that happens.
Melissa
March 19, 2012 at 9:43 pmI want to be a better photographer so I can take great photos for my best friend’s apartment. She asked me to do this so the pressure is on!!
Katie
March 19, 2012 at 10:26 pmI am finishing my master’s degree in interactive media. I have recently co-founded an online magazine and blog. Currently, due to lack of funds, we do all of the photography ourselves. I would love to work towards being an even better photographer for our mag/blog. Thanks for this great give-away.
Joey
March 20, 2012 at 12:11 amI am already a bit of an amateur photographer, and it makes me a small amount of money. I’d really love to improve my photography skills to that I can make it one step closer to creating professional works of art. I am confident in my ability as a photographer, but I still feel that there is a large area for improvement, and I’d love to win a spot in this course, and fill that area! I am also a performer, and if I could turn my photography into more of a job and less of a hobby, it would make providing for myself more enjoyable and less of a struggle. Plus, I’m an eager student, and am always ready and excited to learn new things. 🙂

March 20, 2012 at 4:16 amI’d like to win this because…

maggie
March 20, 2012 at 12:21 pmI want to be better because you simply can never stop learning. I got my degree 10 years ago and after slinging film in a custom photo lab for 8+ years, I have just left my day job to better myself & my photography. All aspects of it. I’d love the opportunity!
Amanad
March 20, 2012 at 1:12 pmI want to be a better photographer because I have lost my mojo. I haven’t picked up my “real” camera in months and need a little inspiration (just like this) to get going again!

March 20, 2012 at 9:18 pmHow fun! I want to become a better photographer so I can share my daily life with friends and family far away.
Rachel
March 21, 2012 at 1:35 amI have a passion for photography but it is a skill I have yet to fully explore as I often feel daunted by the fact that I have friends that have studied photography and are photographers. I fear that I won’t be good enough. This course could give me the confidence to embrace my creativity in this area and stand up to my self doubt.
Krafted by Kelly
March 21, 2012 at 4:35 amI want to become a better photographer so that I get over my fear of M on my DSLR! I’ve had it for a year but I don’t know what most of the buttons mean… I don’t want to be a poser anymore! 😛

I would LOVE to win this. I am so bad at photography. It scares me. I run a blog and cannot afford to hire a photographer. So many wonderful things are happening around me and I don’t have the talent or know-how to capture the memories! Help!
Thank you for such a great opportunity. And I have a girl crush on Miss B.
Glynis

March 22, 2012 at 7:09 amTwo years ago, on my 30th birthday, I created a 40×40 list. One of the goals in the top 10 was to take a photography class. I’ve now taken four. It’s turned into one of my favorite things to do.

March 22, 2012 at 2:33 pmI love photography, but often have difficulty getting what’s in my head to come through in my photos. I’d love to learn more.
Tatiana

kaitlin
March 23, 2012 at 1:47 pmI want to increase the breadth of the things that I can shoot. I’m really proud of how my food photography has come over the last two years, but I’d love to shoot more architecture, portraits, and diverse subjects.

Vina
March 23, 2012 at 1:51 pmi’d love to become a better photographer because i find that a lot of the images i take don’t translate well – the shots never come out as beautiful as they are in person.
Jordan Davis
March 23, 2012 at 2:19 pmWho doesn’t want to become a better photographer?
I decided to jump right in with my photography and not just dwell on the compliments of my friends and family.
Foto School would be perfect for the type of learning I’m interested in. I need to hear the pro’s and con’s of my work to really know what to fix.
This would be such an amazing opportunity!
Chelsea C.
March 23, 2012 at 2:20 pmOh MAN this is awesome! I’d love to become a better photographer in order to capture things for the people that I love. I’ve become my family’s go-to gal for snapping shots during holidays, important events, and the everyday, but sometimes I see a shot in my mind’s eye and just can’t figure out how to make it happen in my camera.
You guys! Thanks so much for the amazing giveaway!
lizzy flanagan
March 23, 2012 at 2:34 pmmy photography is prolific. camera is ALWAYS my co-pilot. naturally, i’ve become the photo archivist for both friends and family.
so much of my effort to improve as an artist is driven by the memories i gleefully take responsibility for capturing and preserving.
and it’s not just the weddings, birthday parties, and holidays. it’s (to use a golf metaphor), the time between shots, when the people in my life are just…BEING.
Caiti
March 23, 2012 at 2:50 pmI want to become a better photographer because I’m currently doing some extensive traveling, and I’d love to be able better capture this amazing experience and beautiful places!
Desi
March 24, 2012 at 11:27 amI wan’t to improve my photography in two ways. I would like to take better product shots. To have better knowledge of light.
I would also like to capture people in an improved way. I guess I would like to have better knowledge of angles.
Rachel
March 24, 2012 at 4:14 pmI work as a Communications Associate for a non-profit where an unofficial part of my job is to be “staff photographer” at events. We use these photos in our publications, on the website and a variety of other places. My photography skills are mostly self-taught, and I appreciate any opportunity I can get to learn and improve the quality of the photos I take.
Plus, it sounds like fun!
ashley
March 24, 2012 at 8:52 pmOh, well, I would love to learn to take better pictures because I was recently married and I want to capture all the wonderful memories we’re sure to make together.

March 25, 2012 at 10:08 amI am always looking for inspiration in my photography. I am pretty good at searching for moments, but not as good at creating what is in my head and want to work on that.
Masha
March 25, 2012 at 3:35 pmI’ve been taking photos for fun for a while now, but I’ve been recently stuck in a rut with no inspiration to photograph anything. I’ve really lost my self esteem when it comes to taking photos, so this would really help me get back into my zone.
Rachel
