I am sitting here listening to one of my favorite photographers on an audio pod cast and it is really made think. I have been going about this all the wrong. And saying that, is wrong. I have been thinking that I need to go and do this to get to do that, and then it will lead to this and I will get to my end point. I have thought that is what I needed to do to be successful. I have been looking at it all wrong.

I want to be a Photographer…. Point Blank

I am going to do this, I have a great start as being a photographer here Afghanistan for the Air Force but there is so much more and other types of work that I can do that I will excel in and I need to try them. I feel that I have been holding back because I have this preconceived notion of ME and if I am going to get out and creating imagery then I need to loss my own image, use my life to its advantages and create me and most importantly Embrace who I am. Like on thing that I have hated about myself is my voice. I have never like it. It was one of those thing that I herd on a answering machine and I would cringe. It has been something that has kept me from doing a lot of things in my life already. If I can except it and embrace it I can almost trademark it. I can tell the voices of the photographers that I follow and I have to say that most of them don’t have a deep dark sexy voice or are great looking but the are still doing videos where the put out what they love. I have to be able to do that I have to be happy with what I have and embrace and use it. I also have to go out and shoot. I have said it a lot lately but haven’t really done it and one reason is missions and second isn’t is that it got cold. And you know what those excuses are… they are excuses nothing else. In the end I don’t have an image to put out. I only have excuses. Tomorrow is a full moon and it is going to rise over a snow capped mountain at dusk…… If weather holds out on me I will shoot it. I WILL go out and create imagery and work towards my dream. Thanks for listening

I have linked a short movie to the photographer that i had been listening to them interview. It is a great video and says a lot.

More to come…
