Today i'm just chilling here in the DT lab. Its going pretty good. I have started to think of how I started to get into photography, I have no clue... lol well I guess I was always interested but have never really tried it out. Before i have gotten into photography, i was always drawing and that's what i was going to originally go for in, I was looking back on my drawings and sketches and i was pretty good at it. i think it sucks that, i stop basically now. i can't really handle my own thoughts to draw. i think i forgotten half of the stuff i've learned over the years. anyways, on my 16th birthday, My parents bought me my first DSLR camera and i fell in love with it. haha It's the one i have today, Canon EOS XS Rebel with the standard kit lens. i felt like I was on top of the world with that camera for the longest time. the thing is for me though is, i had no idea how to work in besides the basic, point and shoot. lol here are some photos of my old stuff.
There's a lot more... but i don't feel like showing them. haha through out the summer of '09 all i have done was take photos of whatever i thought was cool, or just interesting. My friends were so jealous of me because i got a DSLR camera. but i always let them try it how, as school started though, i slowed down a lot on taking photos because school was becoming to much for me and it was also football season at the time, so it was football practice every night. it was crazy. but there were some weekends where, i just dropped everything and i took my camera and went out shooting whatever i could see. i felt so relaxed.
(here's a piece I did about week or two, back)
(sorry, i don't have the original files. so i had to get them off my old website.)
These are just a few and i feel more happy with these ones then the other ones i have picked. I went for my interview and I felt pretty confined about it after the interview with ross and not even a week later, i got my acceptance letter and it, was, the happiest day of my life. swear to god, i was jumping and scream all around and through out my house and my mother and father were happy for me also. i ran out for my friends told them. they were happy for me also. :) months pass and now i'm here. Sitting in the DT lab. feeling happy for myself, because i made it here. The next thing is for me is, what am I going to do? i honestly don't know what i'm going to do after i'm done here. i know i'm going to keep taking photo's, thats for sure. I am planning on going backpacking through the UK. Maybe in two years. and maybe in time i'll start up my own business. one of my dreams is to have my photos featured on a big name brand, Like "Drop Dead, Clothing", "Unif", or "Obey". or maybe for "Gucci" and other high end fashion Labels.

A year passes and i have taken any photos in a long time because i was to busy with school. My highschool added a new club. The photography club. i was surprised and excited for it. we had fun a little assignments for it and i was had a lot more fun, got a little annoying because the girl in the club would have always treated as a contest and wanted to see who was better. wanted to give them a smack for it but i just let it go. more pass on and i came to the final months of grade 12 for me. looking for school and i wanted to study photography and was originally was going to go to the U of M for that but then i saw a brochure for Prairieview. went onto the website saw what they had to offer and i thought it was awesome, I applied for it and got an interview. i was pumped for it and went out to go shoot for my portfolio. here are some of the pictures.
