I’ve been learning a lot…
Not only am I in school getting my Masters in Mass Communication but I’m also learning the business of photography isn’t just about taking good pictures. It requires a lot of other stuff that I hadn’t even considered. In the last year, I have become exposed to so many others skills, people, and things while developing my business. I’ve learned how to use Photoshop and Lightroom, how to run a business, I’ve learned website & graphic design, lighting and I’m sure there is more that I can add to the list. I’ve also met some new people and learned a lit about myself. Currently, my bookshelf has become quite the ecclectic mix of school related readings (dealing with gender and media) to business books to self-help books to photography books.
I’ve reflected back on all the skills I’ve developed, and new experiences I’ve had just from calling myself a photography. Sometimes we don’t know where the path is going to lead but we at least need to have the courage to step on it.
Here’s to taking chances and getting unexpected, wonderful results!
