Five years ago. Photographers show images, MUA's show images, Stylists well you know the drill. I will start it off with this image from at least five maybe more years ago, (not me my friends Magenta)

5 years ago I was in high school...No photos from then...But I was shorter, slightly chubbier, and had brown hair instead of red.

I think I'm more appealing now. XD

Well considering I was in college then.... I didn't really have the time to stop and pose for a photo..... I should scan my driver's license, it would at least give an indication of what I looked like.... but nah... I don't want to scare anyone off since I'm sooooo much hotter now!

Ok, 5 years ago happens to be when I first opened a studio space and started using strobes. No laughing!
And the images are very small on this page. This is actually my first photography website with my old business name which is still up, but not technically open(no enter button) lol. I`m sentimental like that smile

I have a hard time remembering five minutes ago......I think my time as a photographer is causing cancer from the constant lighting flashes and introduction to new models big_smile Thats not a complaint either.

I was using an Olympus E10 back then. Although I did and still do prefer film. Now that my dream film cameras are in my range finally I will slowly be going back.

When I saw this title for the post, I thought of the Jonatha Brooke song.

"You know the tricks of the trade, you can hit the soft spots at the center
You dish it out and take it back riding on the wave of your pompous ways
Oh, but sooner or later you'll have to wring your lovely hands in dismay
You'll go back to the boardroom, add the numbers up and turn the page at the end of the day.

Where were you at the bleakest of moments?
Where were you at the hint of success?
When through the window of opportunity came the
Glimmer of a day in the sun

You took the canvas of a life, torn with the wind and the loss
Could still pull you along
Pocketing images one by one of the past toward your future
A penny for your song
Position memories carefully, you dust them off at holidays
Then you'll go back to the boardroom, declare your passion for the new day

I don't think that it's me you've got in mind
Looks like the blind still bluffing the blind
Lead me on and lay me down
'Cause where were you?"

Five years ago was like yesterday to me. How about 1969. My first Nationally Published image. I'd show the shot and the page but it's A Fine Art Nude.

Five years ago I was a journalism student.I had a friend who was a fashion photographer and I used to think he was so lucky to have my REAL dream job.
Last year I got the balls to listen to my heart : )
Hope I'm still at it five years from now...

Five years ago I finished up high school and was giving college a go. That didn't work, so I moved up here to be with my boyfriend, and have never looked back.
Modeling was not even in the picture, at that point I am not sure that I even believed that I was beautiful yet.

How things change...

Hahaha, Im high school, in love with myself, taking pictures with friends and stuck with a baby from parenting that I turned in a cutie (mine is the african baby: Latoya). 

To think that is my natural hair colour and my face without so much metal...scary!
