The Future Never Happened...

i've been doing a lot of thinking lately about the future.  you know, the whole "where do you see yourself in 10 years?" thing.  well as i'm getting older i'm becoming more and more sure with how i want to make money for the rest of my life.  right now i'm a part time photographer at a portrait studio in brighton.  i might not like certain elements of the job at the present time but overall, i pretty much love this job and am extremely lucky to have a job like this straight out of college.  

in my last semester in the photography program at wcc, one of my classes focused on preparing you for what's to come, wether that be assisting at a studio or starting your own photography business and such.  i geared towards the assistant part mainly because i really didn't have a clue at that time with what i wanted to do.  now here i am 5 months after graduating and i'm developing (hahaha) a better grasp on what direction i want to go in life and working at this studio has played a huge role in that.  

so what is it that i want to do?  well, pretty much what i'm doing now, except my way.  i want to run my own studio.  i want to shoot seniors, weddings, maybe do team pictures, like for little league baseball teams or something.  i also want to do my own little thing on the side,fine art  photography like random shit and landscapes and such.  maybe do an art fair here and there to display that stuff.

also, later on down the road, after i've been in business for a while, maybe go into teaching photography.

let's see how the next 10 years shape out.
