Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal is to have ongoing technological and educational means to enhance my photography. I am planning on attending a documentary photography workshop at The Rocky Mountain School of Photography this September, 2015. To successfully complete this workshop, as well as continue working from outside my home, a laptop computer with the appropriate photography software will be required. One measurable outcome will be the successful completion of the Professional Studies Documentary Photography program at The Rocky Mountain School of Photography this coming September. Another measurable outcome will be the ability to process photos from outside my home office.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I was able to use my new Apple MacBook Pro every day during the Rocky Mountain School of Photography course, and the days leading up to it, as well.
