What Did You Want To Be?

What did you want to be when you were growing up? What were your dreams? We lose sight as we get older. It scares us.

In 2 months, I will be 40! It still tugs at me, I always wanted to be a photographer.

I went to USU to study it. I took classes like The Zone System (Ansel Adams' system of light scale), I had a photojournalism internship at a newspaper. I worked as a child portrait photographer for years.

I had a professor that said "The more you shoot the more you see". Not every photo I take is good, but then there are some that I do that just keep me wanting to take more. If you get a chance go to my FlickR and look at my set named "My Best Of Album".

I'm not doing it professionally but I am enjoying it back in my life. I am more of a photographic historian now. I am not so artsie-fartsie. But still a Photohead. It will always be part of me as long as I can still see.

A couple weeks ago, I was clicking through the Chipping family Blogs, I found this on Oliver and Emily's Blog: http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=ithct48cqw

What was your dream? It is still there.
