Reply To: How am I doing?

Thanks for all the advice! I was looking at the 50mm 1.4 as a lens, so when I can afford it, I will get it.

And I know what is meant by my pictures lacking inspiration. I think once I get the hang of things and learn better control and am able to also direct people more, I can have more creative control. I have a lot of ideas, but they need to be implemented.

I also have some information on how to run a “business” at 16. I don’t have to pay income tax until I am over 5K, so I think I am okay there for now. There’s been some criticism for not trying to build my portfolio more first, with my friends and family. Well I did that as often as I could juggling school and I like to think my current work is a work-in-progress and showing my improvements. I know I’ve only been really getting into this for a few months, but I’ve gotten to meet and work with so many people and it’s been so great for me. Who knows, I might not try to become a professional, but this has opened doors for me. Thanks for all the comments, I appreciate them.
