Why? Because lately I feel like I should tell my story, and I will... this is just an accountability post, so hang in there, because there is a lot more to look forward to :)

Once upon a flower...
Well, continuing with this journey and as I'm stuck at home with a sick kid, I will "expose" some of my exposure problems. As it turns out, a picture is not a picture, it is an EXPOSURE... huh! Who knew? I've been trying to not only go with my natural instinct for photography, but also learning from some books, magazines, and of course the (very much free) internet. And here I am showered with knowledge, more confused than ever, but I won't let my confusion get in the way of my dream (too many people did already).
Anyway, as I don't want to confuse you too, I'll just go ahead with my post: Once upon a flower. I don't know who is actually reading this, and who is actually just "liking"my posts so I don't feel bad :P Whichever the case I'll share this with you...
Back in the day when I was younger (way back, yes!) I used to "suck" on this flower's nectar while withered, I don't know if this habit is known worldwide but if any of you did it, please raise your hand... Hahaha! I hope you did cause it was DE-LICIOUS! So when I saw this particular flower I had this marvelous flashback, which honestly made me wonder why did I do that, and what happened to the flower after that... One thing I did know is that when the flower finally bloomed it turned into this simple yet short-lived beauty.
I have so much to learn about exposure that I consider this picture a lucky strike, because honestly I was just playing with the camera and learning how to use it in MANUAL as oppose to AUTO, which makes the difference between knowing what I'm doing and getting lucky.
I hope you like this picture, and this blog of course... As I learn and share, I need to keep my inspiration alive and you're key to that, so please leave a comment when you can, good or bad, I'll take it ;)
Enjoy your beautiful day!

My new focus
For the longest time I wanted to do this, I wanted to see the world through the lens of a camera and wanted the world to see what I see... I have no idea of what I'm doing, as usual I'm just going with it; but I have what it takes: The passion!
Yes, I have passion for A LOT of things, but this one has been haunting me for ever! Never had the courage to fight the people who said "no, you can't do it'... Or "it's too expensive, you can't afford it"... You know what? Where there's hope there's no fear (Hunger Games) and I always had the hope that some day I'd be able to pursue this little dream, so guess what? I have no fear to show the world that I'm talented enough to do this AND MORE!
Some people make fun of dreams, well these people must be high on caffeine and never sleep cause there's nothing better than seeing a dream come true! And this time I have the support of my loved ones and that's all it matters ;)
So if you're ready to have fun between my cooking, spiders, birds and sunsets (not all at the same time!) come join me cause I'm sooooo inspired and happy that this time I can mix and match my passions, that I will make this happen, and I want you to be there to say... whatever! Anything will do, just be there ;)
My best to you... wish me luck!
