My Dream of Becoming a Photographer

Tonight I was asked if I am a photographer and my answer was no, but I wasn't asked by an adult, it was a kid. She then told me that I am in fact a photographer because I take pictures. I suppose she is right, the problem is I am a photographer who is self taught and as such I do not have an audience. I've been studying the art of photography my whole life, but just recently I've devoted my life to being on the move and taking photos. I document nearly every day now, in an effort to learn my camera better as well as tell my story. At this point I need to find a way to continue my education, whether it be through my project twathorse or through attending art school. Either way, I'm documenting the journey, it is here for you to follow, and I assure you it will be a fun ride.

Here is a link to some of my favorite photos.

@JoeBoyVlog I'm trying to do it add some personality to it, trying to build a fun environment to enjoy the photos in. It is all a bunch of fun. I'm going to try to add a link to a photo gallery of some of my favorite pictures I've taken thus far.

It is hard to break into the industry in this economic climate.

I think the people with the best portfolio will be given priority, it dosnt matter if you have a degree or not. So when it comes to school it depends on whether you think you will glean alot from it, I loved my photographic education as we studied and learnt so much about the history of the frozen image. But i feel ive learnt so much more from travelling and experiencing life than I did stuck in a classroom. Keep posting updates :)
