There is something ever so important about energy force. How many times, think back for a second, you were elated or scared, doesn’t matter, but you wished for something with that energy charge of emotion- good and bad, and it happened. Sooner or later.
Remember that blog post about how I became a photographer and artist and that thing I mentioned that was of outmost importance in my very fast rise in the industry? Read HERE if you missed it.
Well here it is. For your consumption. Hopefully assimilation, absorption and eventual use.
I sat there at now non existing starbucks on 10th st and West Ave in miami ( Cool fact, remember the Sex book by Madonna? The shot of her by Steve M. Standing stark naked hailing a cab? Yep that was West ave half a block down from where this story of mine originates). So here I am, scared of my wits, in a situation from my worst nightmares : alone in a foreign city, with no prospect, no help, no nothing but my almost teenage child and massive low self esteem. And my canon dale camera. Right there and then with a coffee and sandwich that kind baristas from Starbucks would give me for free, because I had no money to pay for it,I decided “ I AM the badass photographer and I get THE shot EVERY TIME. There was no real premises for that decision. I knew shit nothing about industry or photography and I really was terrible at playing the game or “kissing ass” as I like to describe it. Yet this one second in time, that massively charged charge to the Universe’s ether wish, If you will, in my mind, played an ultimate part of willing my shit into reality. Since then I had massive amount of shoots, despite something always going wrong ( professionals will know what I am taking about ) I did the THE shot every single time. I grew and I molded reality to become what I wanted it to be.
So there you have it. A wish, an emotional charge of any kind and just simply moving your feet towards your goal no matter what.
What is your story? Have you had one like it? Tell me. Let us all be inspired!
