Mental blueprint of my dream...

Our mind is very powerful and if we do let it, it can work wonders for us!

Mental blueprint of my dream...

This picture was taken by me...Key West Trip - March 2009 (one of my favorites!)

There is a magical aspect of PHOTOGRAPHY that not so many people can wrap themselves around. To me...it means so much that i can not fully explain it but will sum up in a few words. At one point in time, i didn't even know i actually "liked" photography. I navigated many websites like photobucket, google-images and also blogs but never really could pin-point my passion for photography. I loved going into blogs to read and observe how each image would somehow hold a story in itself. I could feel, think and make up a story in my head about each and one of them. This was sort of my hobby for starters...being an observant of what other people had captured with their cameras and shared.

Today i have another perspective. One day as i was making sense of my mess and organizing my photographs (the ones i actually developed), i was deeply touched and became aware of my special passion for Photography itself. Just as if all of a sudden it dawn on me! The main reasons why i love to hold a camera in my hand and annoy people to pose for me are because to me, there is a unique beauty about every smile and gesture... as if it was a way of recording in time moments and positive emotions we never would like to let go of and treasure forever...moments of total bliss...joy rushing through naturally. I realize that these pictures/moments are what remind me that I AM ALIVE.

My wish is to have my own personal photography studio: Photography by Clau

Although i know nothing about starting my own business, i hold my passion for photography very dearly and will pursue it! Even if it means hard work and sacrifice, i am willing to bring this dream to life.

Baby Steps but sure steps...so far, i have been just enjoying my camera and the thrill it brings to me to capture a specific moment in time.

Don't don't how or when...but then again, the best things happen unannounced! I am exstatic. :)
