I must admit, I'm not the most outgoing or popular photographer.  At this moment I only have 52 likes on my Facebook page.  Though, all 52 people are very meaningful and share in interest in what I do, I'm not to the popularity of other photographers.

I learn methodically, and bettering myself is not usually drastic.  I may not have a shoot every day, nor every weekend.  Though, when I do go out and shoot, it's for enjoyment.  I enjoy working with other people and being creative.

Does not being popular affect my photography?  I believe in some cases it may.  I may not get the jobs; therefore, my hobby will never be self supporting.  I may not get noticed by big time magazines, or other publications.

Yes, I have struggled with my self-image for years.  I have struggled with my weight, and what people see of me.  I, even still, believe there are people out there that are better than me.

That all being said, I am a decent photographer, if not a good one.  One day, if this is something that will last, I will get noticed and find myself in magazines.  Even though I may not have shoots scheduled for every day or every weekend, I am confident that people will like my style.

The more I pursue photography, the more technical I want to get.  I realize technical have more problems, but I want to shoot with 4, 6, 8, all be it 12 speedlites.  I want to put them in lamps, shooting up from floors, in trees, or anywhere I can stick them.  I want complex, but amazing.

Happy Shooting!
