      Street photography is something I struggle with. I love shooting people which is a big part of it, but I've never been comfortable with the idea of 'shoot first, ask later.' I think maybe, I will have to get over it. I've also never been too keen on architecture, so much grey and too many straight lines. I say this and I can't help but hear Rafiki's voice saying "Look harrrrder." I will train myself to do so, I'm going to bring my camera with me every where and I'm going to post a photo everyday.
Front St. Upheaval

     I remember visiting Toronto about seven years ago, and being in awe of the sheer size of everything. I remember Front st. in particular coming out of Union Station. Living here now I see it everyday and it's almost unrecognizable, but still I am in awe.
     I want to tell you why I like this photo, but I can't really explain it. When I was taking it I remember thinking "Who left their backpack there? Who does that?" I will probably watch a seminar today on photo critiquing, that way I can sound smart when I talk about composition and such. 
    
    I've been developing a curriculum for homeschooling myself. Every week I will watch a certain amount of seminars on different types of photography, equipment/software tutorials, and business planning. All of the practical learning will come from the job I've been taking on.  
    I have two jobs coming up in Feb. one is a wedding reception and the other is a photo shoot with a cross fit trainer. I'm pretty excited about both, things are going pretty well so far. 

This is the youtube channel I've been watching mostly: http://www.youtube.com/user/BHPhotoVideoProAudio?feature=watch

    New York City for some reason.
