Wow...

Uhh... Where am I... other than In-sane... Well I've got a showcase coming up next month... MY FIRST... I just figured out what I'm going to show and the sizes... Its going to be great if I can get it all in on time... Its called "A Day Of Doing It" ... I guess its a day or a year in my eyes.. time being relevant and all that...

I know it's been a while but seeing my work even printed as mock ups its just so beautiful... It's awesome.

So yeah!

Updatedness

Okay...

I am making huge steps in my photography career... I now have a talent manager who booked me for a shoot on the 6th of next month... I shot for a comedy festival a week or two ago... I am doing a 365 project which has tested me and taken me far creatively...

It's A Start?

I've been thinking about writing here this week and never got up the nerve to do it... I took some self portraits recently that worked out really well... I guess I am kind of surprised... I got two offers to do some photoshoots... One is for these people I know from a tire shop I hang out at... She would like me to shoot her boys birthday party and her daughters birthday party... Seeing as this will be my first real job I asked for a very low amount to do both... Today another person approached me and asked me to do his headshots... I quoted him a price well below market... I think its good to start out low especially since I don't know whether or not I have the skills to do these jobs... I am lucky to have met a photographer willing to go with me to shoots and help me learn how to do them from someone more experienced in a hands on way where I still get the credit and paid... Achh this is such a long post...

Projects Make Perfect

So I'm realizing that one of my major issues is that I don't actually plan shoots... I walk around and find things I find interesting and then make them more personal with editing... I want to plan shoots and I'm getting closer to the point where I can... {finally got a tripod!}...

The point of all this is I am finally beginning Did It Productions... Me and two or more of my friends are putting together books of mixed media art with one uniting concept {concepts of design, a-z, etc...} I'm hoping this will also help me take shots with more thought for the outcome...

Change Vs. Improvement

Last night I was talking to one of the people who mentors me. He told me that I had in fact changed. My issue is that "Change" is not "Improvement". I do realize my style has changed. And I have no issues with where it's headed. My issue is that despite the change I see no significant improval in my skills as a photographer.

Maybe its my aversion to whats considered acceptable. I like my pictures full of grain and at angles that makes you wonder how your supposed to look at it. I like my colors bold and bright or soft and strong... gahh!!

I'm getting criticized more than I'm getting praised. I guess next step is trying to figure out how to reach the people who would like my work more that criticized.

Growth

Gah! I have no idea how to begin this or even put all the things circling my mind in to words... My "thing" is growth... personal, emotional, spiritual growth... I have to admit its a slow and bupy road at times... but to look back through my life and my pictures you start to see progress... I started it off simply... learn to chose happiness... trying to realize that there is so much good in our lives that we learn to take it for granted... Now that I have officially taken this to heart my next step is a doozy lol...

I am going to stop hoping and wishing for the things I want and want to do and start activly doing something about it... that and I am going to start making my photography mean more to me personally... My friend gave me some homework to do... and as Ive been running it around in my mind I realized that I don't connect with most of my old photos... I went back through to some of them and edited them... My Remix's, as I call them, along with most of my newer photos are definitely more in tune with me...

Well yeah... I'm not quite sure why I had to write this but I feel as though I had to so I did... now on to work....
