Hung out with Vern, Cassie and Shelby today. Cassie recently purchased a used Nikon D70 and with it being her first DSLR I showed her the ropes. Hopefully she retained some of the wisdom I passed down to her.

Vern was playing with dead grass and putting it through his piercings, made for some funny pictures.



Showing someone else how to use their camera and giving them useful tips for how to take good pictures made me feel good, it was definitely my good deed for the day.

In the past month or so I've been considering the idea of going into the photography business. I've been getting the feeling that it's very hard to earn a staff position anywhere and really my interests I feel lie more with commercial photography than with anything else. I feel like I'm a generalist when it comes to my shooting, however the industry requires me to be a specialist...but I'm not sure where I should focus my skills. I like shooting portraits but it's definitely not what I want to do the rest of my career, unless I could attain the status to shoot politicians, celebrities, important people. I don't want to only shoot weddings. I don't want to only shoot stills/product. I suck at landscapes. Blahblahblah I just don't know man.

Whatever it is I do with my photography I don't want it to become a chore.
