Photography

About 6 months ago I embarked on a journey, a journey into trying to live out my, super secret, dream to be a photographer.  Wow that sounded really cheesy.  But seriously I have desired to be a part of seeing peoples lives played out in photographs.  Over the last 6 months I have spent time practicing and practicing. I took some classes in high school but needless to say I'm pretty sure that I failed.  I gave myself 6 months to pursue seeing if I have what it takes to pursue it as a side career.  And if I suck at least I tried.  I have taken far too many pictures of my niece, nephew, and little cousins.  I'm sure that they are all extremely annoyed by now.  I've attended different workshops, classes, and spent way to many nights trying to understand the exposure triangle.  I have always prided myself on being a hustler and doing what it takes to get a job done.  But the reality is I'm a quitter, whenever a situation gets hard I usually walk away.  I am notorious for quitting things half way through, and changing my mind. For example I have several unfinished scrapbooks, some dating back to high school and I have changed my major 5 times.  The crazy thing is with photography I've pushed myself past tears, and past insecurities.  Instead of quitting whenever things have got hard for me to understand, I just take a mental break and get back on my grind.  So I've officially made it through my 6 months, and lucky for me I actually have a little bit of talent.  Now this doesn't mean that I no longer want to pursue school or working in ministry, it just means that I also want to do photography.  I don't know where photography will fit with my super busy life but I do know that God will find a way for me to fit it in to my calling.
