Today is the first day of the Photography 101 course, put on by WordPress! With as many things as I shoot for freelance assignments, it’s easy to forget that exploring with photography can be so fun and really get your wheels turning. It’s those reasons that made me curious to participate in this course and I can’t wait to share all of these photos with everyone!

The first topic is Home. I’ve lived in Southern California, near Long Beach, for a majority of my life and have had many memories in the city of Long Beach. One of the more recent memories there was celebrating my dad’s retirement at a dinner near the marina. There were some rain clouds, but it hadn’t begun to rain just yet and the sunset was beautiful; so, I took a picture of the harbor. Here it is for you to check out!
