Day 9: Red

It’s my daily routine. I’m a full time photographer wanna be and part time body building enthusiast lol. Day and night, I’m coming to this place. Not particularly to this location, but this 24hr trying to be fit place.

If I wasn’t a photographet and if I was better looking with better proportional body than I might have try to pursue body building as part time career. However, I am cursed with this very typical full Korean physique: big head/short legs/short arms/not photogenic. Maybe the reason why I’m behind the camera instead of in front of it.

Wake up in the morning and first thing I do is check to see if I had charged all my batteries and see if the memory cards are all formatted and ready to go. Recently, I’ve been staying away from people… it’s almost like the first month of living in San Francisco. I felt like I hit a plateau. The wall was so big I couldn’t jump over or even think about breaking it down. But, there was a moment when everything started to work out. I need that one moment right now… I don’t like just wandering around for places to shoot… scouting for places without anyone to shoot with. I can’t even approach people in public either… Dallas is not like SF, so I don’t have much chance meeting people out on the street except DownTown… I need to focus, anchor down and strive each day to make that money shot! or create more work for You+I. Well, At least I’m taking images everyday. They might not be something I love shooting, but I am trying something different…
