So, if you’ve been following this blog, you know that I’ve been full-time as a photographer since May 1st.  These are a couple images from May 1st, when I was fortunate enough to shoot some appliance images for The Home Depot.    3 of these images ended up being used very quickly for a huge digital billboard in NYC, which is more than a little exciting for me…the new guy on the streets.

(note: the photos on the far left and far right are Matthew Turley…my 3 are the middle)

It’s been a crazy ride over the last few weeks, feeling out everything and learning from everything I’ve had thrown at me. From successes, to mistakes, to praises and critiques, I’ve taken everything with a grain of salt so far and have just tried to learn from all of it. After years and years of working my way to a college scholarship as a tennis player, I’ve always had the perspective of learning to be better…regardless of how good you are or aren’t. If someone tells you what’s wrong with your backhand…fix it. Photography and the business that goes along with it is no different. I can’t and won’t know everything there is to know overnight, so I’m just taking it one step at a time and listening to the people who are helping me be better, even if they don’t know they are…

So thanks to all of the producers, art buyers and reps out there that have met with me, responded to emails or shared my work with others. Thanks for helping someone that’s not well known or in the “in crowd”, (yet…hopefully) but who’s passionate about this business and about being better.
