Life would be so different.
I was 20 years old in 2007; a careless 'kid' who wanted to have fun. Never really knew what I had going for me. Although I did love photography just as much as I do now. One day, I took my 'tiny' paycheck and enrolled in the "New York Institute Of Photography". This was an amazing, accredited college that would help me receive a certification in professional photography over the course of one year. I sent in my "dues" and shortly received my first 3 lessons in the mail. I was ecstatic! I read the first lesson and....gave up. Like I said, I was a 'kid' who was 'love struck' and didn't know what I had going for me.
Ironically, my mom was cleaning out her office closet today and found those 3 lessons that I had received over 5 years ago. As I looked through these first few lessons, I literally was kicking my self in the butt, yelling at myself for being so 'dumb'!!! Why did I give this up? I wanted this so bad!
It's just amazing how things evolve. I basically forgot how much I loved photography and that just a few years ago I had already desired to do 'this' as a career. The years went by, I got married, had a baby....and am back to wanting to make photography a career again!!
I don't know about you but I believe in 'signs' and 'karma' and 'destiny'. I feel photography is something that my heart is in love with, that my life was made for, and that my mind and soul need. Photography is my life and, as I look back , it always has been.
If I only knew......
Looks like its time to get back in contact with them again :)
