ἀἰὲν ἀριστεύειν: aièn aristeúein: ever to excel

Today, we split into groups of 5 or so and divided into 5 different stations in order to study composition, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and the various useful-but-obscure functions of a tripod. City Center, of course, provided the perfect venue with the green agriculture, trickling water, distinguished stepping stones, delicious and cute restaurants (shout out to Ruggles Green) and the interesting interior decor of select stores such as free people and, a personal fave of mine, anthro.

*I might just have to return later to do some last minute shopping (and I wouldn't be surprised if I ran into Mads and Steph doing the same!).*

I found this common greek phrase, meaning "ever to excel," out of Homer's Iliad and felt it fit perfectly with today's lesson. The goal of today was to concentrate on 5 areas of expertise, so my photography is not splendid yet, but, with this new foundation, hopefully it'll improve and become something more than just a couple lucky shots every now and then. Only time will tell! Ciao for now!
