Before & After I messed with it on photoshop

I am learning how to use photoshop right now. I have been watching tutorials but it is really confusing. There is so much you can do to disort the picture, all I want to do is enhance color and improve skin tones and clarity. You think it would be easier. I have so much more respect to photographers that edit your pictures. It is hard work.

Sample of what I can do now

I love Black and White
I have been interested in photography for awhile. When I was young, like 8th grade I was in yearbook and even went to a photgraphy camp though I don't really remember anything about it. Plus it was all film not digital. I took a class in college about the basics and really enjoyed. But now more than ever I want to culitvate what little talent I have with taking and editing pictures to better document the life of my family. A quote from my favorite movie, High School Musical,

"It's the start of something new"
I am ready to learn and show you what happens.
