Chapter 27

I took Mr. Reed's advice and snapped pictures of everything, and I do mean everything. I must have fifty pictures of just my cat, and from every possible angle. It was an awful lot of fun and after a while I got pretty good at it. Mr. Reed even talked to my academic adviser to get me enrolled in his journalism class mid-semester. Besides lunchtime with Lemon, it was my favorite part of the school day.

Soon I had moved from the fully automatic setting into the semi-auto priority modes, and then finally full manual. Though I find that manual only works well when I have time to set up the shot, like with the portraits I do for the school newspaper.
