Photography
I failed my Photography class in high school primarily because there weren't enough school cameras to go around.  And the few they had were lost, stolen or broken after the first three weeks of class.  

Plus, I couldn't afford an SLR camera on my paper-route pay. Especially since I was blowing what cash I did make on model kits.

Looking back on it, I probably should've dropped the class and picked another.  But I was enjoying the class spending almost every class just drawing and drawing and drawing.

Anyway, I still enjoy photography and now I am exploring opportunities as a professional.

The first several pics were taken at the Lick Observatory in San Jose, CA.
