FIRST BLOG POST ON MY NEW WEBSITE..... I HAD A NEW TEACHER IN HIGH SCHOOL AND IT WAS MID 1990'S....SHE WAS YOUNG YET WORE HIDEOUS SWEATERS, IN A NON IRONIC WAY. SHE SAID TO ME "OH! I USED TO DRESS LIKE YOU." I WAS ABSOLUTEY MORTIFIED. i WAS SO UPSET, I STILL REMEMBER IT!
I WOULD LIKE TO COMPARE THAT TO HOW I FEEL ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY. I AM NOT GOING TO CHANGE, LIKE THAT YOUNG CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHER changed. SOME PEOPLE QUIT, WHICH I UNDERSTAND....IT'S NOT AN EASY PROFESSION. I HAVE ADAPTED OVER THE YEARS, OF COUSE, THOUGH I AM PROUD TO ADMIT THAT I HAVE NOT EVER USED SELECTIVE COLOR! I AM GLAD THE 90'S ARE BACK IN STYLE AND I CAN FIND MARY JANE SHOES AGAIN.
IN COLLEGE I WAS CONVINCED THAT FINE ART PHOTOS SHOULDN'T CONTAIN PEOPLE. NOW IT'S ALL I AM INTERSTED IN SHOOTING. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF CRAPPY sunset PHOTOS BUT ONLY ONE SET OF PHOTOS THAT TELL YOUR FAMILY HISTORY. WHAT IMAGES DO YOU THINK WILL SURVIVE?
I MAY NOT WEAR OLD LADY VINTAGE DRESSES LIKE I DID IN HIGH SCHOOL BUT MY POINT IS THAT i HAVE ALWAYS HAD A STRONG SENSE OF WHO I AM. I THINK IT'S COOL WHEN PEOPLE CHANGE PROFESSIONS AT AN OLDER AGE, I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. TOO SCARED, TOO STUCK IN MY WAYS? I DUNNO! I USED TO WORK AT CPI PHOTO FINISHING AT LAKESIDE MALL, I NEVER GOT TIRED OF SEEING THE NEWLY DEVELOPED PHOTOS COMING OFF THE BELT! I VIEW EVERY WEDDING AND EVERY FAMILY SHOOT AS A NEW ADVENTURE. I STILL GET NEVEVOUS AT TIMES.
I FOLLOW A LOT OF AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHERS ON INSTAGRAM AND THEY DO INTRO POSTS EVERY SO OFTEN....I THINK I MAY HAVE MISSED THE MARK HERE. I'M SUPPOSED TO SAY
I LOVE COFFEE, AND JESUS AND MY FAMILY. MY 2 GOLDENDOODLES AND LAUGHING AT THINGS THAT ARE FUNNY.....EH WELL, THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT TIME. UNTIL THEN HERE IS A PIC OF Me FROM THE early 90'S, THERE AREN'T THAT MANY AS i WAS ALWAYS THE ONE TAKING PHOTOS AND NO ONE DID SELFIES EXCEPT CINDY SHERMAN.
