Well, I hate to be changing my blogs all the time. I used to be on Blogger but I'm going to try Wordpress for a while, mainly because I hate the layouts there. I try to make my photos look as perfect as I can, and showcasing them in my blog is extremely important for me. So anyways. August has just begun and it's exciting! Another semester begins with new classes and new people. Everything is new about August and I'm not very sure if I like it or not, but I guess I'm starting to get used to it.
Just today I finished my training at my new job; I will be one of the photographers and the cartoonist for our university's newspaper. To be honest it's very intimidating because now my photos have a purpose and I'm responsible to deliver them and fill everyone's expectations.
Today we finally went to our office, which is new, so everything is a mess, but we were all very happy for the space provided to us. It seems that it's going to be nice since most of my co-workers are very nice people (at least the one's I've talked to). So I'm not that intimidated anymore. My boss is a wonderful lady who seems to care a lot about us, she has this motherly attitude that makes me feel very comfortable, even though some people say she's difficult to please, she doesn't seem scary; she just looks like someone who wants to do her job. I don't know, maybe I'm being quick about my observations, but to be honest, I've felt very comfortable around everyone and I'm sure that's a good sign.
Now that I already experienced what it is to be working, I feel ready to make the next step in my life: moving out of my parents place and be independent. I feel this urge about leaving, getting my life planned and put everything together, but I still need to figure out how and when I will make this decision. Nonetheless, I'm very happy about the confidence that I've gained and the growth I've made as a person. Nowadays I feel more like an adult (even though my room is a mess). I'm encouraging my boyfriend to get a job, I mean, we are two adults in their twenties who still live with their parents and have to report to them everyday. There are many silly rules that get in the way in our relationship most of the time and I'm sick of it, I really want to take the next step in my life and in my relationship with him.
This is one of my co-workers before taking the staff photos. We were assigned to that task and we got the chance to talk. She's a cool girl.
This is my boyfriend testing his new Konstruktor camera.
He was very excited about it.
Some kids dancing at the park.
I was spying people with my new telephoto.
This is my pal Luna being super cute.
Her fashion sense is amazing, I love everything about her outfits. This is a beautiful bag that has this hologram. The eye opens and closes depending on how you see it.
More people dancing at the park.
I don't know, lately I've felt like a new person, I feel like I can do many things and I feel very good about myself. Sometimes I feel a little bit depressed though because I want to do such things but I don't know where to begin. I guess I just need a break from all the things I've been doing and try to be out there more often. As a photographer I feel more confident, while I know I'm not the best and that there is a long way for me to feel truly successful, I'm very comfortable with my work. I no longer feel that competitive rage inside of me and I don't care what other people do or don't do. I can appreciate other people's work with honesty and share tips and thoughts about their work or my work. I see other photographers as peers rather than rivals and that takes a HUGE load off my shoulders. I don't feel judged anymore basically because I stopped judging other people. I'm also trying to approach my clients, try to become friends with them or at least know a little bit about themselves, that gives me a lot of confidence and I feel great. I don't know, I really hope this year to end wonderfully.
