Question #1:
Photography and schooling, want professional photographers opinions.?
I have been doing lots of photography work for about 3 years now. Just now have I taken it to a professional level and started doing portrait photography for families, children, couples and more. Although I like to do nature photography, I feel like I specialize more in portrait photography. To me, I am rather good with what I do with what little schooling I have had with photography. College is not an option right now, and most likely won't be for a few years due to lack of money. I do, however, take a lot of free online 'classes' and read alot about it. I don't take the classes to learn how to take pictures, I can do that wonderfully with just my talent, I like to learn more about exposure, camera settings, lighting, and other tips and suggestions. My problem is that a lot of people think to be a photographer you have to have schooling and lots of it. I am also fairly young, almost 19. I have the professional equipment that my husband and I bought prior to advertising my work, and I have a lot of experience. I think the pictures and your professionalism should prove it self when I do a person or families shots, but the thing is, I get a lot of people who look past me because of my lack of schooling and age. My prices are extremely cheap, below $100, mostly below $75, and I am confident in my work. What tips would you give me to bring in more customers? I am in the process of learning GIMP and continue reading all about new things with photography. Is there any PROFESSIONAL photographers on here that have made it where they want with out schooling?I am not going to post any of my work, because I believe every one will have their own opinions and I am already confident with what I do.
Thanks so much to you all!
Alright, I will post some of my work if it is that important.
I charge so cheap because I feel like with my age and lack of schooling I probably can not get what I think my work is worth quite yet.
Here is a post to my blog with most of my work.

By the way, what is this "it" you speak of that I am so full of?

So you can enlarge the pictures.
These are just a few of the pictures I have done. I mostly post the ones I get paid for for my clients to see.
Question #2:
Which online school is best for Hotel/Restaurant Mgmt.&Cooking/Catering-Ashworth, Penn Foster or Stratford?
I have no choice but to take an online course to get my training. I've been researching for about a month, but I'm still not sure which school's certification will be received the best by a prospective employer. Any help/info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.Question #3:
I just need some advice.?
Well, i hevent had problems with school for a long time. Sixth grade i lost my friends because i was diagnosed with epilepsy and had emotional issues. Seventh grade, with no friends, i did all right. Except for problems with other kids. 8th grade (this year), i tried online schooling. I am not disciplined enough and i get distracted...so i only get 3-4 hours of actual school in rather than six...so i am getting way behind. I only have three months to catch up. How can i catch up, prove to my mom i can continue with online school, not get distracted with other things at home, and keep myself from going to public high school to have more issues with other kids?I know this doesnt belong in this section, but it wont be looked at in the proper section.
Question #4:
I want to go out to with my friend to the parties/teen clubs he goes to, how can i get invited?
My friend is always goin out to parties and teen clubs with his friends. Me and him are pretty cool, but we've never hung out outside of school. We played video games online and thats about it. Im cool with most of the people he goes out with.Ive never really been to any parties or anything and im already almost done with high school. I'd really like to go out with them and party it up, but i dont think my friend and i are that close that he'll invite me.
I dont wanna straight out ask cuz then ill just sound desperate and weird.Should i just start asking more about it and maybe he'll just say "u wanna come?" Or should i just try to get closer to him? Any suggestions? thanks in advance
Question #5:
Can I take my 17 month old to the movies..!?
I am 20 years old and a single mother to a 17 month old baby boy and I really want to take him its so boring in the house sometimes. I am a SAHM (Stay at home mother) and live alone and cook,clean and take care of my son. going for walks and doing school online and going to the parks etc.. Could get boring. I live in Canada (Toronto, Ontario) we have a cinema / movie theatre around my place. Would the sound be to loud for his sensitive ears? do you think he would make a fuss or would like it? We always cuddle up and watch a movie on the couch and hes really good and actually pays attention lol. Would the graphics and colours be to much for him especially on a Huge screen? Let me know all the things I need to know before taking him to the theatres. Thanks in advance.Question #6:
What should I do to make friends?
I've been home schooled since 6th grade. Before that I had a few friends, but we were never close or anything. I'm getting bored and kind of lonely having no friends (before having none didn't really bother me). I also don't really get along with many people in my age group =/ Certainly there are exceptions though.I mean, I have online friends (lame, I know, but that's me :P), but they don't really cut it, you know?
For high school I will be going to regular school (I'm in 8th grade now so not too much longer), so hopefully I will make friends there, but I'd like someone other than my brother (who is basically my only friend) to hang out with in the summer.
How should I try to make friends? Should I even try making friends now or just wait until HS?
Question #7:

how can i finish college faster?
Currently I am set to transfer to a university after next semester, so I'd be at a university by spring 2011, I really want to graduate already. Is there any special schools where I can take extra courses maybe online to speed up the process. I would like to take a minimal amount of class.Question #9:
Cal Grant Mishap & FAFSA?
So my friend and I, who are the best and most responsible students, forgot to turn in our Cal Grant sheets @ school b/c they were distributed right b4 a break and we completely forgot.... So we just went in today and gave them to our counselors who said that we really screwed up and they are late and they might not be accepted, but we both did our FAFSA on time online so will we not get financial aid this year going to our first yr of college now just b/c we turned in our Cal Grant paper too late?!?!?!?! I can't remember exactly what was on the paper but it was just allowing our GPA's to be released....It really didn't seem that big of a deal but the counselors made it seem like it was and that even though we did our FAFSA we wouldn't get any money....is this true? please this is a serious question we are both freaking out!!! :[Question #10:
Why won't my laptop connect?
Ok so! Where to start..I'm in a school program where laptops are issued to every student.
My question is about connecting to the game server of MMO's (namely Allods)
I tried connecting to other games and Runescape worked, Maplestory wouldnt connect to the news server, but I could still hit the play button and play the game fine (but whenever a patch came out I have to re-install the entire game because it wouldnt patch, idk why xD)
Allods has to connect to version check and patch (because I did it on home computer), but I get this:
"The connection to the game server failed, error code 2.3"
I can see why on school campus why I can't play online games, but why am I not allowed at home? I'm no good with computers so I have no clue.
Firewall is on group policy, however, I have Allods Launcher and Pando Media Booster on list of exceptions not controlled by group policy.
I have Sophos anti-virus on this computer, but I don't think its blocking anything, how do I tell?
There is also this thing called VNC Server on here, which I have no clue about either!
Anyway! That is all I can come up with, please tell me if you want me to add any specifications of this computer to this post! Hope I said everything that needed to be said!
So, any ideas, that might not get me in trouble with administration? and if not, even ideas that can get me in trouble? =D! Many Thanks!
Question #11:
Teens: Did/do you have to do this in school?
The West Point Bridge Designer contest thing. You build a virtual bridge online and then you make a model out of manila folders or something lightweight. Then you see how much weight it can hold.Did/do you have to do this? If so, did/do you like it?
I have to do it right now and it always makes me wanna cry. Lol. Too much work and pointless, in my opinion.
Question #12:
Family Planning Waiver and Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin?
Hi, I am 17 and interested in getting birth control. I know you can sign up for the Family Planning Waiver online, but can you also sign up right there in the Planned Parenthood?If so, I know you have to bring valid ID and pay stubs. I am a full-time high school student and a part-time worker, making about $80 a week. Do you think I would qualify for a free or lower cost of birth control? (I could not find any charts/information detailed enough to find this answer.)
Thank you.
Question #13:
Definate problem going on..Please help?
OKay so I think i'm starting to like this guy i used to like. I stopped liking him last year, because he started liking my best friend, and she liked him back, but they didnt tell me until the end of the year when the friend as moving away. I was really mad and sad, and i didnt talk to either of them for a few months. When school started again, his locker turned out to be SUPER close to mine, and i realized that even though i didnt like him, i kept blushing whenever i went near him. Then recently i started liking this guy i knew from online, and i told him, and he said he likes me back. I knew though that it was probably a bad thing because we didnt really know each other and us meeting was a very slim chance. And now, my ex crush has started to talk to me again, and i think im starting to like him again. He was the first Guy i seriously liked and i guess i never really got over him. But i havnt talked to the internet guy in a few days because i dont want to tell him about how i may feel about my ex crush.Please help!
Who should i choose? I know my other guy is best but idk..
And how would i tell the other guy?
Well excuse me! I was in a hurry. Sorry Ms. English Teacher.
Question #14:
Best online school to get a degree is Health Information Technology?
I am wanting to get a degree in Health Information Technology. Just wanting to know what online school is best. I was kind of going towards DeVry. Has anyone taken this course through them?I am a little confused on what to look for. I know the school needs to be accredited by CAHIIM. What about AHIMA? When does the RHIT and RHIA come in and how do I get those?
I have searched and searched online, but still kind of confused. Would like to get information from someone who can help me out. I don't plan on starting any classes until the fall.
Any information would be greatful.
Thanks so much!
Question #15:
How many classes do you have to fail in high school to stay back on average?
I'm a junior in high school. But i don't go to a public school, not even private. I take an online school (you think it would be easier right?) I've already finished my math and chemistry or the entire year and i'm now working on english. But i've failed my math class, and i'm currently failing english as well. It's difficult since i don't have a teacher that's helping me, i have a text book and the books i have to read, and my parents are no help.Will i have to repeat a year or am i just going to have to repeat the class?
Question #16:
How do I withdraw my online college application?
I have too much going on and now is not a good time because I know I will fail. I sent an email to the lady at admissions and left her a message to contact me what else do I need to do? I don't want to end up getting screwed. I also sent a carbon copy email to myself just in case. This school is known for being shady and I found out after the fact. It's the art institute of pittsburgh online division. Is there anything else I need to do. I filled out a fasfa and did my entrance counseling for stafford loan and I think I applied I'm not sure.Question #17:
quiz answers for pharmacy tech course?
Where can I find the answer key for quiz number 7 at U.S Career Institute pharmacy tech course. I have already submitted my answers to the school, it takes about 5 days to get the results back. Being that I am impatient, I was wondering if there is anywhere that I can locate the answers online to see how well I did.Question #18:
PhD from Capella University Online?
I am planning on pursuing my PhD in Instructional Design and Online Learning at Capella. I just wanted to hear from others who are currently enrolled in that degree program or who have completed that degree program about their experiences with it. Before I invest thousands of dollars, I want to make sure the piece of paper (degree) I walk out with will not be deferred because it's from an "online" school versus a brick mortar school. If you have this degree, did you experience any setbacks with it? Those still in the program, do you enjoy your classes, how are the professors, any other insight? Thanks in advance for any insight. I just don't want to regret later and think that I should have gone to Drexel University as a brick and mortar student. I completed my BS at a brick and mortar (Temple University) with a few online classes, went to Drexel for my MS and did a completely online MS program there and really like the flexibility offered with distance learning. I'd like to continue, but only if it's not going to bar me from being considered for career advancements, etc. Any insight and advice would be appreciated.Question #19:
If you have a child using the new online schools, would you recommend it to others?
I have a 7th grader whose currently enrolled in a public school. He is highly intelligent but has given up on the public school with good reason. Middle School has not been a good experience for him so far, They have no advanced learning classes currently and we can't afford private school. He is frustrated and now has become a disciplinary problem. We are now exploring the option of a Cyber academy, there is one in my state that is fully accredited and has been featured on ABC news, Click Here . It seems like a very good option for us but I was interested in hearing some voices of experience, If you have a child that has been enrolled in a program like this, can you share with me your thoughts or opinions?I wanted to add that we intend to be re-enrolling him in public high school because the local high school is wonderful and we know he will do well there, it's just the middle school is terrible.
Question #20:
I just applied to an online college but don't want to go through with it?
I applied to art institute of pittsburgh online division. Now I have second thoughts. They are listed by the better business bureau as having a D- rating. I also have seen more bad reviews than good. What do I have to do to not go here? They haven't accepted me but from what I seen they accept everyone. I already went through the financial aid process and application process. What's next? I'm worried other people said they didn't even enroll and the school took there grants and loans. Please help I'm worried.** Powered by Yahoo Answers
