I have only been reading the course material so far and I am really enjoying the creativity that the breakout inspires. I appreciate the information on color theory and how color effects mood, it has made me want to be more aware of my use of color within my photography and the mood or feeling that I am shooting for (Pun intended). I am excited to keep reading and then dive into experimenting with the ideas that Twyla has shared. Thank you for a great course for creative thought with photography
