Branching Out...

Wed Jul 8, 2009, 12:11 AM
As far as I know, photography is a very expensive hobby. It can also be a very costly career move. All the "work" you will see displayed here is going to come from either a disposable "one time use" cam, or, most likely, my 3.2 MP Cell cam. I wish I had "real" equitment to work with but... as it is, I am not a "real" photographer, per se. I would love to have a better quality piece of equitment to work with, even a digi-cam would be nice... but the truth is, I need more confidence.

I will always love taking photos. It's always been something I've prided myself on, weather the work is "proffesional quality" or not. I've been dabbling in the idea of branching out in career paths lately and photography has always been one of those "long shot" ideas. I would love to be able to "Get paid to do what i love to do". However, what I want, and what's possible is not always one in the same.

In any case, I plan to use this account to get some of my work out there. Viewable to the public eye so I can get some feed back and an over all idea of weather there is any point in persueing this as a potential career, or just sticking to it as a care free hobby. It seems I always get compliments from people who apreciate a "pretty picture" but have no proffesional background or credible experience in actually judging the work. I apreciate all comments, but I prefer critiques.

One more thing I feel i should note: I'm 25. Very "late in the game" to be making career moves. My current work is not paying as much as I'd like. I work 2 jobs. One full time for a steady paycheck, and another part time as a free lance artist for a large array of various jobs from graphic design related work to character design and tattoo design requests etc. In the end, I'm hoping that putting my work up here will bring in some feed back that will help me decide weather to persue this field further as a profession, or just stick to it as a care free hobby.

Thank you all in advance for reading this, and I hope you all enjoy the photos you see. If you like what you see, please let me know, and even if you don't like what you see let me know as well and I will apreciate all explinations "why" you do or do not aprove of the work displayed here.
