Oh dear lord this is going to be a challenge. I'm a over due for graduation college students studying social science secondary education at Towson University. While attending towson my room-mate suggest I take their engagement photos, with a photography background from a different institution I was excited. About a week or two weeks after the shoot I realized I could do this as a supplementary living. I have loved photography for as long as I could remember. As a child no camera was safe as I constantly took random photos of things that my parents considered a waste. It got so bad my parents gave me my own manual camera and made me hand wind the film so I wouldn't cost them an insane amount of money on film.
I eventually took the art very seriously when I was a senior in high school by self educating myself how to use a dark room. From there I took multiple college courses on the subject. I was terrible at taking photos of people and excepted the fact my degree was USELESS. That's ok for I knew in my heart of heart and soul or souls I was designed to educate the future generations of this country. So I began my journey for a degree in education. It has taken much longer then expected, but I will graduate next Spring, thank you Jesus!
During this time I will be starting my own business with no money to invest in it, and the money I have used towards it bringing me in to the society of debt. I own a very basic model camera with hopes of getting a new one very very soon and very basic lenses in hopes of getting new ones very very soon.
Tomorrow I will be contacting the government to assist with getting a grant to help fund the start of this business. Its a long shot (some might call it a lazy shot) but its worth a try.
This blog will document the journey of me starting my own business while juggling my last year of college and hoping to enhance my business. Please stay tuned for this will be one of the bumpiest rides of my life, but it will be so worth is. If you know anyone looking for photos to be taken send them my way!!! Not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty good.
