welcome to a new beginning

I don't know what has come over me, unhappy feelings that have lead into the unknown world of what comes next.. a place I didn't see myself ever being, never mind revisiting twice.. what do I want to do with my life.. where do I wanna be in five years.. where am I going?! Do I wanna be a hairstylist, or has my love of photography once again pushed any sort of chance of that happening?! "So if you love it so much what's keeping you from it" good question. So I gave it some thought;

"For as long as I can remember I have obsessed myself with photographing life as it happens. I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure, the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting. We look at the world and see what we have learned to believe is there, what we have been conditioned to expect... but, as photographers, we must learn to relax our beliefs. Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. I love natural beauty and exploring the world we live in through the lens, a good snapshot stops a moment from running away.

My clients, along with my friends and family, continue to inspire me every day, and I love being given the chance to photograph them in their surroundings and every little spontaneous moment when people forget about the camera"


and I couldn't come up with one reason this isn't something I should be putting everything I have into.

and so this has lead me to my new beginning, my second chance. I know realize what I want and what I have to do to achieve it, there is nothing at this point that can hold me back, I will only be as successful as I want to be.

I have begun on my new promo and made new business cards as well as some flyers. I am working on a website and have challenged myself to blog at least one photo a day, weather I took the picture, something that inspired me or just something random on the internet that reminded me of my day!

from winnipeg to toronto and back again

Toronto... what an interesting place. if only i could begin to describe my five days in what they call the "screw face" capital. From Hookers at 3 in the afternoon to taking us 2 hours to get to the Toronto zoo because someone (not going to say any names *cough.cue.cough*) couldn't read their balckberry maps! But all in all it was a wonderful time filled with rain, and music video shoots, and shopping, and hiphop shows, and rappers, and KOTD battles and walking.. and walking.. and more walking!!

look at how far we've come..

so pretty much i totally forgot about this blog and can't believe it's already been over a year since my first day of Prairie View. feeling really weird about not going back to school this year is starting to get to me a little i think. buuut i have decided that come february i will be going back to school for hairstyling at at the arts and technology center to continue my education and to keep myself busy while i continue to make my photography business grow.

Neglect, Regret and Uncertainties...

AHHH... yeah that's a bit better.. just a little..

this is a venntt:

neglect and regret = not enough me time, not enough shooting time, not enough them time, not enough him time... really not enough time all together.

uncertainties = basicallyyy like in complete honesty, why am i doing this??
i love it yes,
its what i want to do yes,
its been my dream for years yes,
my passion yes,
m trrrying to put everything i have into it...
but it's gotten to the point that i'm not feeling like i am improving at all anymore and i am wasting everybody elses time who've been super kind to me all because i just don't have the time to get myself out there... im loosing steam very fast..
either i'm sick, working, too tired, sick or too cold, working to keep myself in school, not feeling well, did i mention sick??
nothing seems to be going my way at all lately, it seems everything and everyone is working against me.. i just don't feel cut out for it..
my body hates me this year and it's draining me past the point of return.. i've lost basically all
my confidence..

creativity needs a MAJOR boost..

errr help?
