When I started this blog is was a means of sharing my journey as I began to teach myself photography. My vision was to also share my illustration, and short films shot on my DSLR. Well a little over a year later, I have a lot of photography, 1 experimental short (I say experimental because I had no idea what I was doing) and no illustrations as of yet.
I think its time to add more diversity to this blog, but first maybe I should pick up a pad and pen again, since its been over 3 years since Ive drawn anything.
To be continued…
I came up with an idea for a photography project I want to do and I’m going to create a campaign on Kickstarter in a couple days.
Stayed tuned. I hope to have your support.
If you like my work, Id appreciate it if you can recommend me for photography section on Tumblr Directory.
Thanks a bunch

Growing up as a child everything always came easy to me. I was a fast learner, athletic, stronger than most my age and always the most talented. If anyone I’d come across seemed to “steal” my shine if even for a second, the competitiveness in me would awaken and I would set out to prove that I was indeed the “best” at what ever that particular thing was.
I have always been very talented when it came to anything artistic or visual as well. So when I dreamt of starting photography as a hobby, my thoughts were, “Oh, just give me a month and I’ll be good enough to make a living at this.”
Needless to say I need a whole lot more than a month and I’m content for the most part with my progress as an novice, however when I see some of the images others post here on Tumblr and see the praise and number of comments that some of these images get, that competitiveness in me gets stirred. I know I still have a loooong way to go, but I don’t see why some of these blogs get so much attention.
Maybe its me hating, or being envious, maybe its just the spirit of competition, I don’t know. maybe I’m to busy being worried about how many followers I have in comparison to other bloggers on Tumblr or maybe Im to concerned with the lack of comments on my post. What ever it is, its driving me crazy. Do I let this drive me to get better sooner, or do I just focus on my photography and let its appeal grown organically?
