My Mentor...

For this project I have to chose a mentor that will be able to guide and direct me. When I first was assigned this project, the first person to come to my mind was my cousin, Kiersta. Kiersta owns her own photography business in Salt Lake City, UT. Kiersta is one of the most talented people I have met, not only through her photos, but also through her keen sense of style sense. Her artistic eye is shown exquisitely through her photo by the way she captures not only the faces of the individuals she takes photos of, but also there essences. I'm super lucky and blessed to be mentored by her and look forward to posting more about my journey and my plan on how I intend to reach my destination.

Discover: The Start of A New Journey

Discover

I have created this blog, not only as a requirement, but also as a way to discover things about myself as well as learning things about photography. I have always had a deep interest in photography after my grandfather let me  use his old Polaroid one afternoon. Since the camera was old it turned the photos a little yellow. But the beauty in this memory wasn't about the photos I had taken, it was the idea of discover. The idea and feeling that the world and could speak through this one little square and that my thoughts could be captured for eternity with the press of a button. This feeling that consumed me as I pressed that button, could only be described as the feeling of discovering. I can only hope that on this journey that the feeling of discover with consume this project.
