My photographic goals... To think of them is quite difficult. As one who loves to get one's hands into all forms of [hands-on] art, to focus on just one takes a moment. I know, for the most part, what I find aesthetically pleasing. I know what I look for and it is that same quality that I try to mirror in my work. Not from what is said to be beautiful and well-shot, but what I feel. Is that not what art is about?

Anyway, I digress. I suppose I could say I would love to be adept at taking surreal photos. I am currently toying with long exposure for I love the strange and sometimes eerie effects it has on photos. I also love capturing familiar objects in a more distant, abstract form. To raise my art to a certain degree... to post that as a goal seems rather lame. It should go unsaid. I suppose a more pertinent response would be to better understand my camera so that I may continue to fiddle with its many functions with a more learned hand...and eye. That would be nice. That is what I have been waiting to take a digital photography class for- to put some backbone into my observational and experimental knowledge on the art...
