Hey guys. I have been toying with the idea of maybe switching careers. After going to college for 6 years for a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology and working in the field for 9 years, I have decided that this is not the way I want to spend the rest of my life. So, I am at a bit of a crossroads. I have been pondering what kind of things I get enjoyment from, and Photography is one of the things that keeps popping up.
I have been considering contacting some local photographers to see if I could apprentice on the weekends to get a closer look at this as a profession. Before doing so, I would like some of you professionals to take a look at some of my work and tell me if it's worth pursuing. BELIEVE ME, you won't hurt my feelings if you respond "don't quit your day job". Give me the good, bad and ugly thoughts you have about it.
I have made a sort of portfolio so that you could get an idea for the quality (or lack there of) of my current capabilities. I never really experimented with a camera before April 04 when my wife and I went to Rome. I'M NOT ASKING FOR A CRITIQUE OF THE ALBUM ITSELF. I think it's crap right now, but the album is just a vehicle so that you can view the content. Actually, I never looked at JAlbum before last night, and this is the first site I've created. The pics on the site do seem a little pixalated though, and I need to go back and figure out how to fix that in the future.
Anyway, here it is.
