P365: Camera [001]
I can’t wait to travel more and put it to good use. :)
P.S. Yes, I took a picture of myself in a mirror. So what?!
P365: Introduction
Photography.
Capturing memories.
One snapshot at a time.
This is my Project 365.
Every day, starting today, I will be recording my daily life, one photo at a time - ultimately creating a series of snapshots and giving you a glimpse of my world.
Photography has always been part of my life. Honestly, my entire childhood has been recorded through the lens of a camera. Having such an exposure to the device, I was excited when I was able to take my own pictures with my own camera. Granted, my first camera was one of those disposable Kodak cameras. Not much, but it was something, just to go exploring with friends and capturing those memories together.
Being on the yearbook staff throughout middle school and high school, my interest in photography increased. Although I wasn’t able to take a photography class, I loved being a photographer at school events - recording those memories and publishing them in the annual book that will be cherished for years.
In college, I was usually the one with a camera glued to my hand - snapping pictures of our good times together. This was also the time when I started taking pictures of food (and then everyone started copying me). I also acquired a DSLR camera and took photography classes (photojournalism and intro to black and white photography).
After graduating, I feel like I stopped taking as many photos, but that is why starting this blog project is important to me. I don’t want my hobby of photography to die. Quite the opposite, really - I would like to improve my photography skills. It’s going to take lots of practice and patience, but I’m excited for this journey.
I will be using a Canon ESO Rebel XSi for this project unless otherwise stated.
Follow me and see my Project 365 unfold one snapshot at a time. :)

Blog: Inspiration
Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way.
It just takes ONE moment. ONE person. ONE dream. This may INSPIRE you to achieve something great! INSPIRATION is contagious.- Eileen Caddy
In this case, several things have come together to motivate me. Good timing too.
BLOGS:
ANYWAY, in case you haven't heard, my buddy Rick Baleros finished his Project 365 blog. After seeing him complete this project, it has really INSPIRED me to start my own. I know I also mentioned that in my last post, but I think I should really start it.
Look out for that starting JUNE 1.
As for regular blogging, I'm working on that. I'll try to keep this up once a week or so, hopefully!!
JOBS:
I've taken a hiatus from job applications. Maybe too long of a break. Whoops.Well, this week, I need to get back into the groove of filling out all those job applications! I've done a ton of searching and now it's time to get back to the real work of it - applying!
After spending time with my family, I have new hope for my job search/application process. There's still some kinks to figure out, but I'm definitely more MOTIVATED. Let's pray for the best and hope I land something soon!
As much as I like my part-time gigs and internships, I feel it's time to move on to something bigger and better.
LOCATION:
Short and sweet - it was nice to hear some encouraging words about testing the waters in NYC.
GRAD SCHOOL:
The idea of grad school is still there; it's just a matter of figuring out what I'd be studying and where. The options are endless right now (okay I do have it narrowed down to a number I can count on two hands, which is a bit too much still). Either way, it's another one of those processes that will slowly but surely formulate over time.
INSPIRATION. Sometimes you just need that boost of encouragement, confidence and support. Thank you for those who have given me that boost this week. I'm excited to continue reaching for my goals and chasing my dreams! This is the year for enterprising, but the chase is taking me a little bit longer than even I expected.
As the second half of the year begins, I'm INSPIRED to make a change. INSPIRED to have a clearer picture of my future. Just INSPIRED to continue this post grad life...
