Tomorrow I start my travels to Canada, a place I have never been but, expect I will visit many more times. It is also where I hit the refresh button on my career as a photographer. Up until now, I have always kept myself open, taking photos of everything under the excuse I love to take photos. But the reality is while taking photos is fun, I was stretching myself thin. Now with this trip, I can start photographing what I truly love, travel and landscapes.
Where in Canada am I going? While the main trip is a family reunion for my partner Talia, it's at Panorama Resort in South West Calgary. It is surrounded my mountains and beautiful trails.
So my goal for this trip is to spend every day I can photographing and building up my portfolio of work and to grow as a photographer. It won't be easy, especially when I have to juggle meeting new family whilst doing it.
I am going to try hard to write as much as possible during this trip, even if it is just a few words.
Stay tuned for more images and hopefully some good words :)
