Maybe it was how I was raised, or maybe it’s just how I was born. I have always been uncomfortable with attention. I get all sweaty and nervous like those little chihuahua dogs whenever I have to be the center of attention. I pretty much avoid it all costs. I may have even pee’d on the carpet once or twice. (not really people)
I think, no….I know that is why I love to be behind my camera. I am able to express myself by drawing attention to others.
My camera has been gone for over a week now for servicing, and I have decided that it has become an appendage that I cannot function without. I am aching to go out and shoot.
What it also showed me, is that I need to stop hiding! I want to be able to connect with my clients and readers by sharing more about who I am and the fact that I am really not that exciting! LOL It goes against my nature and my beliefs that if we are to take the focus off of ourselves and make it about others first, this world would be a happier place.
SO…all that said, I am taking off my “camera mask” . I am vowing to share more about who I am , what I believe in, and what inspires me. I am a visual person. I am NOT a writer. So please don’t judge me and my terrible writing skills. (Another “hat” I will try and improve on later) HA! I am also going to spotlight other photographers, vendors, people and artists who have inspired me in some way.
Out of desperation, I am going to be posting some images captured on my iPhone! :) (Desperate times, call for desperate measures) In fact, I think it would be fun to shoot an entire session with one! LOL Hmmmm…..
Anywho…today’s SPOTLIGHT is miss ERIN VEY ! She is one of the first photographers that I fell in love with on FLICKR about 5 years ago. She is passionate about Pet Photography, and has really found her niche. Erin is based in Seattle , Washington. She has an amazing Great Dane named Gracie that she captures in a way that amazes me.
Check her out!!!
In honor of Erin and her amazing work, here is a couple pics of my fabulous boxer Roxy.
