The introduction for my digital photography class.

1. Introduction Jennifer Heisler UF/Digital Photography

2. I live in Altamonte Springs, Florida, which is just north of Orlando. I have lived in this area my whole life and have seen many changes. This is a photo that I found on googleimages.com. The highway is Interstate 4, which links Daytona Beach and Tampa.

3. This is a picture of my nephew, Daniel, my daughter, Virginia, and my niece, Veronica. Thank goodness that is not really her hair! Virginia is twenty two and she is taking college courses at Seminole Community College. She wants to attend UCF and get her teaching degree. My parents are both retired educators. I have an older sister and a younger brother.

4. On a sad note…this is Monash Heisler. He was the best dog ever. He was a part of my life for so long that I had to include him. September 19, 1992-January 2, 2009

5. Here are some of my students on Halloween. I teach third grade at Rainbow Elementary in Seminole County. This is my first year teaching third grade. I previously taught fifth grade for five years. It has been an adjustment, but I have a wonderful team, and my students are awesome. I truly love my job!

6. I absolutely love football and I am sad that the college season has ended. My favorite NFL teams are the Miami Dolphins and the Tampa Bay Bucs. My favorite college teams are the UCF Knights and the Florida State Seminoles!! My parents went to FSU so I was raised a Seminole and never thought I would end up getting my master’s from their big rival!!! Anyway this is a picture of myself and my friend, Al. He is a firefighter, therefore, we had the picture taken next to a fire truck from the Tallahassee Fire Department outside of Doak Campbell Stadium. By the way, the date is incorrect…maybe I will learn how to delete that.

7. I always look for the moon each night. I love to watch the phases and my favorite phase is a full moon. My grandparents had a house in Key Largo, where my grandmother and I would watch the moon rise over the ocean from her back porch. I try to schedule vacations when there will be a full moon!

8. This was taken on my recent trip to Marathon in the Florida Keys. We rented a boat and just cruised around Marathon and the Seven Mile Bridge. I love the ocean so the Keys is one of my favorite places. My other favorites are St. Pete Beach, Panama City Beach, and Daytona Beach. I live about forty five minutes from Daytona and about an hour and a half from St. Pete, therefore, I go to those locations a lot more often. I hope this class will help me to take a “straight” picture!!

9. This is my “friends” page. I took this in North Carolina in October. I went there with seven friends to enjoy the changing leaves. The trip was great and I also got to spend time with my brother and nephew who now live in Charlotte. I have so many wonderful friends that it was too hard to choose a picture that only included some of them. I see my friends as much as possible. We travel, cook out, eat out, go out & enjoy life!

10. This is a picture of the Ford Amphitheater in Tampa. I love to attend concerts and the last concert I saw was Journey at this venue. My favorite performer is Jimmy Buffett…I have seen him over fifteen times. I am a huge fan of all types of music and I generally prefer to listen to music rather than watch TV or movies. I do follow a few shows: Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Two and a Half Men and Brothers and Sisters.

11. One of my favorite things to do is go out to dinner with friends. This is a picture of steak and shrimp, which is my favorite. I hope you enjoyed my introduction!
