Not only will I be celebrating the New Year this evening with friends, but I am also personally celebrating the launch of my all-new Web site! It’s been in the works for quite a while and has taken me a little longer than expected, but it is finally ready. Though I have yet to upload a few galleries, the site is up and just waiting for you all to visit.
Click here to visit my all-new Web site!
I told myself about a month ago I wanted to have the site complete by the end of the year… I definitely cut it close to that deadline! Nevertheless, I acheived that goal. I have a few ideas for tweaks to the functionality of the site in the coming months, but as it stands, I’m very proud of it. I hope you all enjoy visiting!
This year has been an incredible year for me personally and professionally. I’ve shot more photographs than ever, which has been incredible! I’ve learned so much about myself as a photographer and have realized that this is what I truly want to focus on as a long-lasting career. Additionally, I have learned so much about photography in itself from some great people and other resources, and look forward to continue to learn so that I may continue to improve my art. I believe that no person can know too much about their craft and I plan to always reach out for more knowledge and inspiration. I already have a few seminars and workshops lined up for early 2008 and am so excited to apply what I learn to my business!
In May, I acheived my Master’s degree in Communication Management from USC, which is one of my most cherished acheivements in my life. Though I’m not directly using my degree now as a photographer, I plan to use it in the future to grow my business and know it will provide me many opportunities to acheive other goals I have in life.
Though this year has brought many happy times, I also, like everyone else, have faced my share of difficult times from which I learned so much. For everyone, life has its ups and downs, but it is how we respond to and learn from those experiences that make us grow as human beings. I myself have grown so much and now have a better perspective on what is most important in my life, and for that I am truly thankful.
I celebrate tonight all that I have accomplished in 2007, and hope that 2008 is just as educational, inspiring and successful.
Cheers! And celebrate safely!
