Im a photographer! I just took my first 12 official portfolio pictures and they are beaUtiful, I swear! I wish I could post them up on my blog for you all to see but I only have the print out versions; I'm working on that though because I do need them for my photography website. Im also thinking about making some business cards when I get good (with one of my photo designs on it). I found an awesome deal on a Digitial SLR camera. Its a Nikon D50 with a retail value of $450-700. This man whose been helping me out is going to sell it to me for $350 whenever I'm ready. Should I buy this thing now or wait? What about the business cards? Should I make them now or wait until I know I am great at what I do? The guy whose helping me says the reason he is doing so well is because he didnt wait or waste time on learning. He said he went in for the kill and even agreed to take pictures at concerts for people who had heard about him, knowing that he was an amateur. I know Im always trying to be over-prepared but this is different and I dont feel like I need to be. Im not flighty about this photography thing...this is it. I've studied to the max and I feel prepared and for once in my life CONFIDENT about my skills. So...who wants a photoshoot?!
