It's been quite some time everyone since I've been in here, but I'm happy to say that I am glad I'm back. I have gone through some very interesting and trying experiences within these last few years and the wealth of knowledge I've acquired can only be classified as "GOD GIVEN!!"
Throughout my life, I've realized that I've been given many gifts and talents...writing stories, poetry, singing, etc.. But what I've come to realize is that, the one thing that I thought was my calling (my writing) turned out to be just another one of my talents. I quickly realized that the more I tried to force that talent, the more it wasn't working for me, soooo, I decided to put it down for a while and let it breathe, try my hand at the one thing that I've been doing my entire life and gave me great enjoyment; my photography. I can honestly say that I never gave much thought as to where it could lead me, I always just enjoyed taking pictures. I have been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. I was that person in the family that everyone would say to, "Here chile', come and take this picture, you don't ever cut people's head off!" (lol) Well, in all of those years of being given the camera, I never imagined that I would be here.
Where is that you ask?
Well, let me enlighten you. I decided a few months ago to pursue my passion for photography professionally. It is an understatement to say, that this venture took me by STORM! I picked up my camera one day and went to take pictures of a girlfriend of mine, nothing heavy, just having some fun. She saw the pictures and asked me why I wasn't doing anything with my gift. I always blew it off when people would say that to me, I figured they were being nice. I had no formal training, heck, I had no INFORMAL training. All I had was a love for capturing moments. Well, she told me that if I stepped out on faith, and pursued it, she'd be my first client. Maaan, before I knew what happened, we had completed a photoshoot in her living room and I was in TEARS!!! I could not believe how overwhelmed with joy and complete I felt. I had to sit down on her steps with my camera and I wept. I had finally understood what it meant to whole-heartedly TRUST GOD! I was so happy that I had found it! I had found the thing in my life that I felt like I could do for the REST OF MY LIFE! So, with God by my side, a smile in my heart, and a prayer on my lips, I took that 'LEAP OF FAITH' and haven't looked back. I hope you've enjoyed my testimony and hopefully it can be a blessing or inspiration to someone else!
So with all that is in me, I introduce to you...
