Hey Whiskeyman Thank you! Yes, more lenses are definitely on my wish list.
My photo background begins with several failed attempts at 365 projects. I started in 2011 with a Canon Powershot and loved creating images, I received a lot of positive feedback, but I quickly grew out of the little manual mode on that cam, so I grabbed a Nikon D5100 and spent a ton of time and money in Barnes and Noble reading up on photography. I did a few more 365 projects unsuccessfully). I guess that I kept stopping because I would run out of ideas. Friends would ask me to shoot them, but I was always intimidated by shooting people. Last year, I decided to put on my big girl britches and step out of my comfort zone and take on paid gigs. (I always felt bad, because I didn't consider myself a "professional". Since then, I have done a few events (baby showers, book signings, a tiny wedding) and a few portrait sessions. I don't have a studio, so I am pretty restricted to location shoots, which can be tricky in New England in the winter. Currently, I have a ball to shoot on May 5, I'm a second shooter at a wedding in Philly on May 20th. I have a tiny wedding to do here in CT in June.
I am interested in creating art of all kinds. I want to do more with nature shots and landscapes. (One of the many reasons I opted for a full frame) I want to continue doing the portraits and maybe some commercial work. I don't know how I feel about weddings, we will see how things go on the 20th. I definitely want to learn and grow more so that I can one day truly be confident in calling myself a professional.
I have a website if you ever get bored.
