Yes, I know, and so does everyone else in America right!! Well, I do, so don't judge me. Now, would you call this an epiphany? I don't know. All I know is I have never considered myself artsy or creative in any way, except for my love of photography. In fact, I would often exclaim..."I can't sing, I can't draw, but I love pictures." Doesn't that mean anything?? I say it does...and that's all that matters right?
Fast forward to today...man becoming a photographer is no joke!! You mean to tell me that its more than just snapping a couple of pics of cute kids and naked babies? What's this...editing software? Did you say business plan, as in I have to write one??? Ok so I naively jumped into this thing, that I am easily learning now, the same way many "newbie" photographers do....but honestly, is there any other way for untrained, amateur photographers to jump in? We don't know jack about photography until that one day we decide "I WANT TO BECOME A PHOTOGRAPHER" and quickly find out its more than just clicking away on your shiny new Nikon D90. Its hard work!!! So cut me some slack, I didn't go to photography school!!!
However, I declare "I will not be deterred"....I am going forward with this thing. I WILL BECOME A PHOTOGRAPHER!! I just know now, it takes hard work, effort, dedication and above all else, business skills, to really make my dream of becoming a photographer happen. I'm all over this thing now. I read every book I can get my hands on, every website claiming anything having to do with photography and bought several photography classes, tips and tricks from deal making sites like livingsocial. Im well on my way....
So this is where I begin...clean slate, fresh outlook, and proud to call myself a "newbie" photographer because I know one day I will look back and say...it was all worth it.
So thanks for taking a look at my blog and I ask that you join me as I share my "JOURNEY THROUGH THE LENZ".....
I want to thank everyone who has taken time to read my blog. Please comment.
