Week 1, Activity 2 - My Introduction! (:


Hey, my name's Calyssa and I'm a second year baking and pastry arts student. I studied at Queens University for a semester, and realizing psychology wasn't my calling, dropped out and came to GBC to pursue a degree in what I really love to do. I chose two electives this semester, photography and mythology, as I have an interest in both of these things. Though it's a small interest, it's an interest none the less. My interest in photography probably stems from my mom, she absolutely loves it and owns a Nikon D80 (I believe that's what it is) that I occasionally borrow. She's the one who dreams of becoming a professional photographer, and so I am nowhere near as good as her, but I figured I'd try the course out and see where it takes me. I was glad to see the course isn't so focused on taking a bunch of pictures for every assignment since I don't own a very good camera, and looking through the assigments I think (in my opinion) it's a happy medium between either shooting or finding photos and actually writing about them.

I thought I'd include two pictures I took while I was in Rome. One is from four years ago, and the other was from this past summer, but I like the way both of them turned out. Although they may not be what some professionals would describe as good, they're special to me none the less. (:
