Hi,
l guess I'm a little late getting started here, but as usual, too much stress. I'm a
retired photographer, sound engineer for ESPN, and graphic designer. I'm having
a wonderful time taking photos, manipulating them in different software, and even
selling some at our town's monthly Art Walk.
I shouldn't have any stress in my life anymore, but I guess it's all leftover free-
floating anxiety from my childhood, working in live TV, printing, daily newspapers,
etc. I can't seem to let it go. I think some Vanda's comments on "not feeling
comfortable without stress" apply to me.

Finished the first lesson and feel better already. Vanda is a real person to me,
and I find that being in her "office" is very relaxing. Great 10 minute break. Saving
lesson 2 for tomorrow.

Hope to talk to you all again soon. I wish we could post photos here so I could
see who I'm talking to. Do any of you have Web sites or blogs? My url is
