Here is what I know

After many a failed attempt at blogging I am starting over. Again. 

I dont know why I have such a desire to blog but I do. I want to be good at writing and I guess I feel blogging will help me with that. Develop a voice, find a direction or an answer at times maybe? Maybe I just really want a lot of people to read what I’m putting out there, be interested in me, gain an audience.

Apparently, I want to be an internet star… which could be grossly misinterpreted…

I know, I have started over like 37.367870 times, but this time I have a plan. My plan is to have no blogging plan. In fact, I am following that “no plan” path in relation to everything in my life for a while. I’ve decided to see where things take me. Its a tough decision to make but I think it will fare me well.

I am a college grad with no full time job and a few not so secure  options. At this moment in time,  I work retail for one of the biggest and fastest growing technology companies out there, I am finishing an internship with a nearby photographer, and I am trying to make a name for myself as a pro photographer. I have a million ideas in my head and not a second to stop and make them a reality. 

With that, here is (some of ) what I know about myself. 

* I have a bachelors degree in photography, which is, in my opinion, the most important piece of paper I own as of late. ( with the exception of my SS card and my birth certificate I suppose)

* I want to make really great pictures.

* I am headed to Vegas in October to continue expanding my massive “collection” of photoshop skills. 

*I dont have a solid direction.

*I miss that post-high-school-graduation-summer where everything was so perfect.

* I, like everyone else, want to lose weight. badly.

*I want to teach high school students at some point in my life.

* I dont want to work retail for the rest of my life. 

* I have certain obsessive behavior when it comes to backing up data.I am paranoid of hard drive failure.

* I want to create an archive of all old family photos

* I want to write a book. Can I tell you about what? Not really because the ideas in my head dont form a solid concept but I have bits and pieces in notes. 

* My computer is my life

* I am a very nostalgic person

* I would actually love to go to law school but dont think I could do it academically

* I envy my lil sister’s brains (intelligence that is, not organs)

* I want to keep up with my blog for once.

* I have a website for photography that I have to redesign badly yet  am still trying to find the time.

*I am scared about not having a plan and yet oddly calm about it.

Of course there is more but over time it will come out. These are just immediate thoughts that come up in relation to my place in time right now. I dont have much more because the more I sit here and try to make this blog great the more I just fill it with words.

I’ll be back

Til then, 

Photography for Thought

(which will usually be my own work. If not, then I will credit it)
