Day 2: My tools and Some pics

I thought it would be important for you to know what I am using to take my pictures and what software is helping me also.
SO here they are:



I took my camera with me today and I've decided that I need to invest in a better one. Action shots are fun but not when you're camera doesn't take them fast enough... oh well, mine will have to work for now.

I decided for day 2 to put up a few of my favorite pictures from my trip to India this summer. There's a lot but here are a few to start out with:

Day 1: 82,300,000

82,300,000. Thats how many options appeared when I looked into getting a business card created. Wow. So many options. Looks like I have to just go for it. Good thing I can use photoshop and create my own. I will have to definitely look more into what it will look like and really nail down what I am going to put on it.

I had a few networking things happen today as well. As I was telling some friends about this blogrimage, I basically found 3 people who potentially could help me with a website. I will have to pin down some times to meet with them and ask about capabilities and capacities for a website for something so small at this time.
I was pumped because all I did was start talking to people about it and then they said, "I know... and I will connect the two of you" and with that told me to look up different website layout designs for what I'd want to do.

This is even more exciting than I thought it would be. :)

Day One Starts Tomorrow: March 17th

When I was in middle school, I was gifted my first camera.
It has been an addiction ever since.
I love photography. I love it so much that from 2006 to 2009, I had AT LEAST 15,000 pictures on my computer. I'm pretty sure my Apple computer erupted because of it.
I currently have 133 Albums on Facebook full of pictures, and am convinced that if my friends ever need pictures from college when they are in their old age, they know where to look. My bedroom currently has about 10 photo albums recording my life over the past 15 years. Crazy, I know! However, besides the family vacation pics, or bowling night pics, or whatever, I also have pictures that I have taken and specifically set aside. Pictures containing people, places, different cultures and more. I have been to 8 different nations and been all over the US. I have tons of pictures, but for what??? Well, let me tell you...

I have always wanted my own photography business. It is still in the works and unfortunately I have put it off due to other commitments and things going on. I started "my business" in college, but it is in the making. I have sold some of my stuff. Some to people who wanted them just cause and some for fundraising for mission trips, but nothing more. People always say, "YOU NEED TO SELL THESE!"
It is something I really want to do. As of today I only have a business name that was dropped into my heart, a bunch printed and ready to go in different sizes, and the start of a portfolio.

For the next 30 days, I am going to be working on my business. Each day I will either post pictures taken in the past, or that same day, or I will find information on starting a credible photography business. My hope is that 30 days from now, I have a better picture of what it will take to get this business up and running, and learn a lot about myself and the photography business as well.

I am doing this blogrimage for a few reasons:

1. To put action to a dream in my heart.
2. To challenge myself to get the word out that I want this dream to come to pass and for people to pray.
3. To gain more business knowledge and entrepreneurial skills to make this a reality and become more successful.
4. To have fun and do something that may have been put off and never brought to pass because of my postponement/ lack of intentionality.

I’ll blog everyday during this time for accountability and documentation.

I hope you follow along, and better yet, document a journey of your own.

Enjoy!
