I still don’t get Photoshop.

All of those functions

buried

in miles of menus.

The class was half

photography, half

post-processing.

I arrived with my Nikon D-70.

Everyone else had D-200s.

All of them, experienced.

Me? No clue,

other than my artists eye.

Feeling inadequate

and shaky, I left early.

Looking back on the shots

I took that day,

I decided they weren’t bad.

Better to take good shots

in the first place.

Maybe I don’t need

Photoshop after all.
