If you remember back to a little over a week ago, I was disappointed after I got home from Pablo and Kim’s wedding. Due to my lack of technical knowledge, I felt like I hadn’t gotten the pictures I really wanted. I am responsible for this; I just haven’t yet taken the time to educate myself.
Since this blog is about my journey, complete with many awkward moments, I have been very honest about my trials and triumphs. I’m here to share my experiences, whether they be positive or negative, humorous or humbling.
One of my friends recently encouraged me to think about whether I wanted to be a professional photographer or a hobbyist. After a lot of thinking, I find myself leaning more toward pursuing photography as an artistic outlet, not a profession. I want to continue enjoying my time with the camera, rather than view it as ‘a job.’ I realize that I have the most fun when I am taking pictures of people that I know and love; I can express how I feel about someone through a photograph.
So, except for the odd session here and there, I think I’ve made up my mind.
This will (continue to) be my hobby.
P.S. That doesn’t mean that I won’t take on the occasional ‘photo assignment,’ just in case you were about to ask.

I certainly hope you don't stop taking pictures. They are so beautiful and insightful. I love the fact that you focus on things that wouldn't normally catch my attention. You take the shot and it is amazing! Your talents will definately be used by me in the future. So keep it up!
Natasha: Thanks. :) I don't think I could stop taking pictures. Even when I am not focusing on 'photography,' I can't stop myself from seeing things that I want to take pictures of.
And I definitely look forward to taking more pictures of you in the future!
