A couple of months ago a buddy of mine and I decided to enroll in the Fundamentals of Digital Photography 1 class over at the University of Tennessee.  The class has been a ton of fun so far and I’ve learned a lot (hopefully you’ll start noticing a marked improvement in my pictures).  Anyway, this past Saturday we had our first field trip to downtown Knoxville to walk around and try out what we’ve learned in class and get some extra help from the instructor and his assistants.  Towards the end of the morning the instructor, Tom Geisler, told us he wanted to do a group photo… and I somehow managed to volunteer myself to take said picture (which is also how I managed to be in the front of the picture).  It was my job to make sure I could see everyone faces in the picture, and clearly I missed a few… but you know, no pressure or anything! 🙂
