My Inaugural Blog
A new year and a new blog. My inaugural blog, no less! As indicated above, this blog is about following my camera, wherever it may take me. But first, I think I should give you a little background info. My camera beckoned me about 3 years ago. At the time I was working in an extremely comfortable job in the investment business in Toronto, having built up a pretty solid reputation over 15 years or so. However, throughout my working life, I had been a keen amateur photographer, an interest that started when I was 16 years old. Photography was my creative outlet. A way to feed my soul. Then, in 2001, I think I lost control to my camera. I took a sabbatical from my job, travelled with my wife to South Africa, Vietnam and Cambodia and began a new phase of my life (a mid-life crisis as some people would say). I decided to pursue photography full-time, knowing that it meant starting all over again. The journey has been emotionally exhausting, to say the least. I've described it as akin to swimming across Lake Ontario (not that I've ever done it). For the longest time (through 2002 and 2003) I felt that I wasn't quite half-way across and could turn around anytime while the weather was still great and the water was calm. Going further meant swimming into the unknown; maybe a storm and rough water. Turning back, though, meant giving in. My Yorkshire blood wouldn't allow me do that, so I carried on. I went on photography courses, opened a studio, started doing work for free and got rejected many, many, many times. Here we are at the beginning of 2005. I feel that I'm now way past the half-way mark - no turning back now. The weather is still okay and the water not too bad. I have a decent portfolio to show people and I'm starting to get paying work! Hopefully this year I will also start to use my camera in more useful and meaningful ways. I'm negotiating with the World Health Organization to document their campaign for the eradication of Leprosy. This project will take me to India in March/April. I've also applied to work for Medecins Sans Frontieres. The current is too strong now. I have no control. I'm drifting across Lake Ontario and who knows where I'll land. This blog will hopefully take you with me!
