Today I am a photographer!!

I am suffering from Artistic Overload. I have such passion for anything artistic. I can not focus on one thing therefore I can't perfect anything. I used to think I got bored easily which I know was the case in my early twenties. But I am 31 now and I am starting to think boredom isn't the case.

I just want to do it all. The last few years have been difficult for me I have been through a lot. Including a head on Collision. Ill get into all that in another post.

I have always been artistic. For My Freshman-Junior years I attended a School of Arts for High school for theater and was a Honor Thespian. For 12 years starting at the age of 3 I was in gymnastics, jazz, tap and ballet. I have wrote poetry since I can remember and I wrote a childre's book in sixth grade and an adult book at 18. I unfortunately had them stolen including a book of about 100 of my original poems and when that happened it kinda made me give up on writing.

In the last 4 or 5 years I have really began to have a thirst for knowledge. I want to learn everything. I am teaching myself Spanish. I taught myself how to make jewelry and work with polymer clay. I Taught myself spray paint art. I am Learning how to sew and my grandmother is teaching me to quilt. There are so many artistic things Ive tried done and I want to learn. I have spent so much on different projects. I really got into jewelry and I still want to do that too.

I have been contemplating blogging about different artistic ambitions I have in the hopes that it will help me focus on starting and finishing a project or 2 instead of starting 10 and not finishing any.

so Today I am a photographer.

I have always been fascinated with photography. Being able to look at the world and see the Beauty in things that are always there to enjoy but never really stopping and looking. I love being able to take a picture and know that someone is going to put it on their walls as art. These first pictures are before I have started doing any research. They are just my initial pics before I teach myself what I should or shouldn't be doing.

But as my Blog continues I will Continue to learn and grow as I tackle all of my artistic ambitions. One day i might be a painter and One day a writer who knows what I might do tomorrow. I think I just want something beautiful and amazing to come out of my darkness and pain and maybe I am on a journey to find it. If you are taking this Journey with me I urge you to Take one yourself.

There is no limit to what you can achieve or who you can be. Look at me Yesterday i was a nobody and today I am a photographer! I can't wait to see what I am tomorrow!

XOXO
