Just something cool I found online.

I found this link while looking up photographer's rights for a project I wanted to do. The Project has to do with shooting in Central Park but that's for another day. I just wanted to mention this website because I thought it was really cool and informational about quite a few things. You don't even have to join and become a member in order to read their articles which is nice cause a lot of websites make that a requirement. It's run by a group of photographers from all over the globe. They give reviews on equipment, give tips on different types of photography & techniques, talk about different workshops, they have a form where members can discuss different topics and a lot more. Check it out, you never know maybe you'll learn something new.

Follow your heart. (Never give up)

Just throwing it out there. I deal with depression but I fight through it every day. Every day it's a struggle but I'll never let it stop me from doing what I truly love, photography. If anything photography is what gets me through the day most of the time. I thought that I would be graduated from school by now but for some reasons things kept coming up; obstacles keep getting in my way along my journey. I feel like life throws us obstacles for a reason, to help us grow. I've learned so much in the past few years about myself alone as well as for my passion.  Things do get to me a lot but I will not let them stop me. Yes it'll slow me down but nothing will stop me from becoming a successful photographer. Photography is, was and will be my life. I don't care how long it takes me to work on perfecting this career but I will succeed. I'm not giving myself any choice. No matter how many obstacles I face or how many times I may even feel like a failure; I will succeed in the long haul. I'm going to keep trying no matter how hard it gets because this is my life and no one is going to live it for me.I'm not exactly sure where I wanted this to go when I started to write but right now I hope that reading this somehow strengthens your own will to never give up on what you want to do whether it be photography, videography, photo rep, graphic design artist or what ever you may want to do, do not ever give up. Find the strength you need to and fight through each day.

Upstate NY is one of my favorite places to take photographs when those kinds of moods hit home.

Reaction paper #2 Photo Expo

On the 28th I went to the PDN's photo expo at the Javits Convention center in New York. It was amazing. I truly do not have words to describe how it made me feel. Like a good anxiety attack if it were to exist. I've never seen so many cameras in one place. It was a little too exciting. I tried to go to every booth. I bought warm matte paper and received a bunch of free paper as well. I also bought some decal photo paper as well. I got the chance to subscribe to PDN's magazine which I did for a year. I also learned a lot through a few of their lectures. They had all kinds of photo equipment there as well such as lights, tripods, camera bags, filters, etc.. There were insurance companies offering different deals for your equipment.  And professionals speaking about their work from here to there. I was in love with this place. Upset it only happens once a year but I already have plans to go next year.
