Going Beyond My Username

I put Wanna-be-Talent as my user name because I do wanna be doing what I love to do and that is take pictures. I would love to take pictures professionally but I wouldn't even know where to start. I haven't had any technical "school" training and I definately don't have the equipment to do such a thing. I noticed a new private portrait studio had opened up where I live and I thought "Wow, I wish I could open my own". It would be a great thing if I could start taking pictures and stop working for "the man". My career choice has grown stale especially since I have been doing it for over 10 years and I am getting no where. I can't go back to school to pursue art because of bills, bills, bills. At my age it would be quite a milestone if I could finish my college education.

I would love to take professional photos of anime cons, comic cons and just plain stuff that I see everyday while driving home from work. Things that I see and thing "hey, that would make a great picture".

I have thought about taking some of my pictures to some art festivals which are few and far between in my area but then realized the expense involved in doing that. I fear this is a dream that will never be realized. But hopefully, I can keep going with my photography as a hobby and keep dreaming that I took my education in a different direction. For now, I will keep working for the "sharks" and trying to make ends meet.

If anyone has any suggestions for me I am open for anything. I always enjoy looking at everyone's work. Its all brilliant.

I am by day a Paralegal -- by night a costumed vigilante dispensing justice (just kidding). I enjoy photography very much. I love beautiful pictures painted, photographed or otherwise. I have always loved art because of its calming properties. I am merely an amateur photographer I wish now I went to college for art but alas, here I am at a personal injury firm. I feel when Im driving or when Im walking around and I dont have my little $169.00 camera I usually see a scene or something that makes me say "hey, that would make a great picture". Now I carry that little camera with me everywhere. I never know when an opportunity will come up to take a picture. Im also a serial doodler. If Im on the phone at work I doodle while I talk to clients or if I get stressed I just stop, pick up a pencil and just doodle apples or something. I can't draw bodies -- UGH, they are horrible. Mostly, I draw things that I see in magazines or comic books, things I can look at while Im drawing. I would love to work with programs on the computer, maybe get into graphic art someday -- I sress someday when the time comes available. I enjoy this site so much and Im glad I could be part of it! Well, back to the old law grind! Cheers!
