Worth While

Self portrait taken for my small format class.

   Becoming a photographer is very time consuming. And by that I mean making photography into a career. I think photography as a hobby is great, but when you aim to make it into more than that you have a lot more to consider. Suddenly it is not just to express your creativity, you have to learn to keep customers (or in my case teachers) happy while still keeping that creative edge. You are also expected to know the technical side of it all like the back of your hand.
   It can sometimes be hard to remember that it is more than technology and people pleasing, but when you do know how to apply both the technical and creative elements to your pictures, it ends up being worth all that time and effort.
