- Photos NOT OK to edit
I've been playing around with cameras since I was about 15 years old when I picked up my dad's old Pentax ME Super (not realizing how amazing it actually was until it was stolen from my home in my late 20s). I'm 36 now.
I didn't start taking photography seriously until I was about 27. Very late, really. I shot weddings and fashion. Guess which one was the money-maker? I now work as the staff photographer at a major corporation here in Salt Lake City, Utah.
It's been a fantastic ride, and I can't wait for what the future holds.
But I don't think I realized until this particular experience at work about 2 years ago, the value of letting yourself be in front of the camera. I have 2 kids myself, and not having very many pictures of my own dad who passed away when I was just 12, I know the importance of creating a sort of record of my having actually existed.
We photographers tend to hide behind the camera a lot. Then there's those who just hate being in front of it.
So I'd like to share a video I made for those who are hiding too much. I hope you enjoy, and I hope it inspires you to get out from behind the camera if you don't already do so regularly
