And I thought I was Good

I thought I was good, but after taking a closer look, I realized that I ain't SHITE... I am talking about my photographic ability. I took pictures of a wedding, hoping that this is something that might take off in a year or two. I thought, maybe Michelle and I could have that second business and do something creative and fun... I did the job as a favour, and to be truthful, the person that hired me was doing me a favour too. It was to help me build my portfolio and in return I took around a thousand pictures and charged them only for my expenses. (The wedding was past Brandon). So basically I charged for gas and to cover a portion of equipment costs. Well I thought that the day went pretty good for my first try. It was only me because Michelle wanted to stay home. Something about getting married the next week... (I said suck it up, but apparently she was a little bit stressed). So I went on my marry little way and took these so called photographs, came back home during the night and was plenty proud of my first real job.

Fast forward 6 months and 2 weeks.

So here I am working on a website to display my talent and try to get another job. I look at the pictures and in every one of the pictures the people look distant or drunk... Ok so they were actually drunk, but I am sure that I could have done a better job. Now to be fair to myself I could argue that I didn't really fully understand my camera and that I have learned an incredible amount about photography in the last six months. Plus with Michelle helping with any future jobs I can concetrate on taking the shot while she is busy setting the shot up.

Hopefully I get another shot, and hopefully I remember the mistakes I made and also the lessons that I have learned. Hopefully I can find another broke sucker willing to let me do my worst... I mean best!

By the way, the website that I am working on is at http://www.stonebuilder.ca

It is only in development stage right now, so things change from day to day.
