The Awkward Start

Since I love journaling so much, and also because I recently got a handy dandy new laptop, I've decided to start blogging. I'm not exactly sure how many of them will be private or public, but I might as well give it a whirl. Lately, my life has been consumed with trying to find work, and the many sporting activites I'm involved in. I've been also trying to cram in as much photography as I possibly can. I'm IN LOVE with taking pictures.
Of course, my new obsession is Pinterest. I love having the ability to just get on the computer and look for things to inspire my photographs. I greatly enjoy trying to recapture an idea with the people that I know and love. Photography has become my main passion. It's kind of intersting to me, because I now want to just take pictures every. single. day. With this hot weather, it's been frustrating. My subjects have had to deal with the hot weather, sweating while still trying to look beautiful. This has been a challenge for me as well. I feel badly that they are so uncomfortable, while I don't have to worry about my appearance or looking nice.
One thing that I truly believe about photography is to keep photographs as close to what they were originally. This means that I don't really edit them much. It's a little different than the big photography studios. I mainly brighten the colors and retouch faces. I believe that it's best to capture and portray the true moment.

For now, photography and sports are my areas of interest. Although they are a rather large part of my life right now, I'm not planning on furthering my education in either area. I plan to major in health sciences, but I suppose we'll have to see what God has in store for me. I must say, that's the most exciting part of this journey we call life. But for now, I'll continue striding for him.
