So today, instead of sitting in the classroom we had an awesome opportunity to meet in a photographers studio, see heads on what it's really like to be a successful photographer, and what hard work and effort goes into all of it. Jim Lennon is the photographer who let us in his studio and told it like it is. I wasn't too surprised to hear all of the effort and work that goes into building up your career. I admired his images hanging up on the wall while I sat there and waited for everything to get started. This is my second year of studying photography but still, what I was about to hear was a lot. However, thats what I was pretty much expecting. Visiting really made me think and question myself about what type of photography I want to be doing or if I even want to have this as my career. I am just starting to love photographing people and bringing out their personality. Also, i enjoy abstract photography and i dabble in the technique of ghosting.
Who wouldn't want to do what they love and have a passion for, for a living? Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me! Not saying that it will be easy, but why not try? A wise man once said... ~"If you do what you love.. you don't work a single day of your life"~
