Who am I?
This can be complex, butI'll try to keep it simple. Basically, I'm a free spirit who loves an adventure. I'm not a fan of monotony...I like everyday to be different...and FUN!
In 2000 I completed my degree in Social Work...I chose Social Work because I thought that if I had to spend 40 hours a week away from home, I might as well do something that helps others...yup...that was my moral philosophy.
Well, about 3 years into this type of work, I started telling my wife that I couldn't do this forever and that I need to start looking to do something else...something FUN and with some Freedom...
So after a lot of thinking and some research, I told my wife that I wanted to open a little coffee/tea shop that would also sell music, musical instruments, and have an open mic...catch this...I even had name for the place....Freewise...
My wife wisely recognized this probably wouldn't work...and Boese (Marc) has confirmed it...maybe he'll blog about one of his current adventures!
So I continued in the field...changed a few jobs hoping to find the Promise Land...but the grass was never Greener!
This endless search took me back to college...I ended up choosing to study Video Production. I have a minor in Communication, so this seemed to be the obvious choice. I also was inspired by this documentary by Michael Franti - I Know I'm Not Alone.
So I started taking classes...and the first class was mainly a photography course...yes, and Boese was the professor. That class got me hooked...I was up late hours doing my assignments...I was "super driven"...and Boese was very supportive of my work...he gave me the confidence that I needed to seriously pursue photography as a career choice...and so that's the path I'm taking...
Right now I do wedding, lifestyle, and music related photography...yeah...I still have my one Social Work job....but witness me break free from my 9-5!
Side note: I completed my certificate in Video Production and will soon like to incorporate video into freewise fotography.
