Thank you I Hate Fauxtography, haha. I take photography way too seriously (YANAP has a part in that) and tend to be hard on myself, but I manage to have a lot of fun shooting which keeps me going. The good: thanks to this site…on my own I stopped doing edits that made skin looked jaundiced, no matter how many friends said they love the “vintage” look. I’d hope I’m  not where I am now if I had been shooting for years and years though. I hate having my age be an excuse, but I hope I can wait on paying for a website/portfolio and certain necessities until I decide to branch out and can afford them on my own. After all, I’ve barely begun my photography adventure, and would like it to be my thing, not an expensive whim my parents pay for.

I looked at your page before, and love the colors in your images. The links were helpful. Even if I don’t pursue photography, I still plan to do something business related. Getting on the right track is the difficult part… I don’t have many photography peers who are as…obsessed (willing to wake up for sunrise pictures) with portrait photography as I am, so I look to those who are slightly older than me and pretty successful. Also, people on the internet of course, haha.
