Do you enjoy Photographing?
Over the weekend I had a funny conversation. Someone came up to me while I was photographing an event and said, "Wow what a fun job! It must be SO easy to do what you are doing" Sometimes if that were only the case, but it's far from the reality. On a normal event I can take 300 to 600 photographs, out of that I may only use about 100 to 150 of those and at times that's pushing the envelope. This happens for many reasons, the lighting may have been off, the people moved, a drunk bumps into you as you are taking the photo, someone walks in front of the camera as you snapped the photograph or all of a sudden the smoke machine is cranked up to full force. Other times the people you photograph just don't like the first photo you take and want you to retake i, sometimes 2 or 3 times but then tell you they liked the other original better.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE what I do and have met some of the most AMAZING people in the process. Some of which have become good friends. So, while at times it may not be as fun or glamorous as people think, the good definitely outweighs the bad!
Here are some photo's from one of my most recent event
