I love taking pictures and editing them. I've always loved taking pictures since I was little and my grandpa gave me my first camera. I've loved using photoshop since 2008 when I married my husband and moved to NC. I hadn't found a job yet and didn't know any other people yet so all I did was play around on photoshop and make myspace layouts and graphics for military wives. While I don't do the graphics/layout part anymore I have come to LOVE editing pictures in photoshop. I love seeing how I can bring the pictures to life even more.
Out of any job that I could have in the whole wide world, I really want to be a professional photographer one day. I just enjoy how happy it makes me. I try to think of other jobs (I sort of want to be a sonographer) but I just don't find that same joy when I think about it. Aren't you supposed to LOVE your job? I have days where I go back and forth saying I can or can't become a real photographer but when I see other photographers post their amazing images it makes me want it SO much more. I want to inspire people through images. If my house was on fire and I could only take one thing (besides my family and dog of course) I would choose my photographs. I love having those memories to look back on and I would be really upset if I ever lost them. Each photograph reminds me of that specific moment and it takes you back to that day and I love that about photography and I love having those images there for me to look back on.
So here's to hoping I can learn as much as I can and practice practice practice and one day live out my dream of doing what I love as a career. What job do you have/want? Does it make you happy when you think about it?
