lets get some things straight...

as much as i didnt want to do this, i need to get this off of my chest b/c its just been bugging me. i dont care how many people get mad or are insulted by it. it's my right to say what i think and how i feel. so be as pissed as you'd like...what else is new? you already dont like me...right?

i know that my photography isnt the best or the greatest in the world. i am slowly working to make it better. i am slowly progressing and seeing my work get better and better. there are plently of photographers that are better than me. i refuse to brag. i absoultely hate people who say they are so good at photography or have the best pictures ever. how do you know? aren't you embarrassed to brag about yourself like that? i was always taught to have a high self esteem and be proud of yourself and what you do, but never to brag or be too cocky.

i am only showing you my work here. there are plently of photos that i am very proud of and could easily top what i have posted here and on myspace. i choose not to for the simple fact that id rather keep them to myself. ive known too many people that have had their work stolen and someone else credited themselves.

you may not like my work, but i know plently of people who do. i must be doing something right because ive gotten numerous comments on how my work was "really good" & how they or their band has been talking about getting some pictures done by me. people always tell me i have a natural touch for it or that photography is my calling. ive been setting up shoots with local bands & a couple people who would like family pictures for christmas. i'm pumped :]

i am selling all my cameras, except for the canon. im upgrading to a nicer, newer nikon...the nikon 300 with the 24-120 mm lens. it's my biggest investment yet...about $2700 for everything & well worth it.

i consider photography a hobby. i would never make it a career. thats when you start hating your job and eventually lose interest.

ill always remember one thing that my dad told me..."no matter what you do, you can always be better than one person, but there is ALWAYS going to be someone better than you." that has always made me strive to be better at everything i've done.

so, to everyone that dislikes me and feels the need to say things about me and what i do...mind your own business. stop being jealous of others. you are no longer in high school with no responsibilites. it's time for you to grow up especially now that you have drastic changes in your life and youre an adult now.

that is all.

thank you for reading this & to everyone who's supported me :]
