This is my diary. Of course, I wont be writing about the new, cute boy in class or the reason my mom yelled at me today. OK, well, maybe Kuddy will play the role of the cute boy and I may throw my mom in here yelling sommmetimes but this is the journey of a girl who started from scratch. A girl who didn't know anything about photography but knew that with a click of a button a memory is saved. Forever. And that girl is me.
I was working at a bank in NY for 4 & 1/2 years. I didn't know exactly where my life was headed but I knew the next step in my career was the assistant managers position and I didn't want it. So the beginning to where I am now began to unfold. At my cousins baby shower in NJ.
While Kuddy and I sat at a round table surrounded by laughter, jokes and a huge room drained with loud music and mingling, I spot a woman with a huge camera. Now, you need to understand, Kuddy purchased my first digital camera for me about 3 months before the baby shower so the sight of her huge camera muted the room and the heavens opened with a bright light as angels sang hallelujah. I swear !
I turned to Kuddy in search for the push I needed to approach her.
Babe, look, a photographer! a REAL one!
Go ask her how to get started Kat..
But what if she thinks i sound dumb.. or I'm a groupie?!
Just ask her for her business card..
The light bulb goes off in my head and I approach her as the groupie that I really was. :]
i want to do what you do. i want to be a photographer. how do i get started??
She was a little busy because duhh kathy shes working!! but I felt as though I couldn't let her get away!!! Stalker, i know. So, she handed me her card which said Feuza Reis Photography and told me to go home and search Jasmine Star Photography Blog. I thanked her maybe a million times, unless I'm just being easy on myself, and went back to my seat next to Kuddy and gave him my wide smile of success.
When I got home I jumped on the computer like a mad scientist who found the cure to a disease I'd been searching for for years. From that point on and with many tabs opened to the internet, I went from one page to the next, then the next of linked links & I ordered my first DSLR camera. Thank you Feuza. You've made me realize that just a few seconds of time can change someones life completely. And J* for your awesome blog. You both inspire the heck out of me and I'm forever thankful!
A girls path is opening up. Slowly but surely. And that girl is me. :]
Have a Fun Friday all!
