So lately I have been struggling with myself.  As I approach my final few semesters of my college career, I wonder to myself, what am I going to do with my BFA in Photography?  Should I open my own business in the competitive world of photography, or should I pursue my initial goal and teach high school?  The question I have is simple, do I need a MFA to teach in high school?  I can teach general art, but I know some schools do have a photography department/ class.  I have knowledge and experience in all different venues of photography, and I've taught kids before.  

 I have knowledge and experience with film, darkroom processes, alternative processes, manipulation, photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, bridge, some lighting, photographic history, gallery and studio set-up and critiques, as well as other various areas of the craft.  

 I don't know where to go from here.  I believe I'd like to teach.  I have a passion for both, so why couldn't I do both?

Well, hi everyone.  Guess that this is a better place to find like minded people than Myspace.  I also use a livejournal... but it is so hard to connect with other art folk. 

 I am struggling creatively...  there are so many pictures in my head, but I don't know how to get them out...  The pictures I do produce... often I have no confidence in, or, I don't know how to get them out there for others to see, critique or comment on.  

 Any helpful hints would be so appreciated!  I also paint... and soon I may post some of my paintings here as well.

 Thanks so much... Casey
