About
Sometimes disappointing events turn out to be the best things that ever happen to you. In high school I was set to attend the local University, I was accepted and the papers were signed. Unfortunately I couldn't pass my last math class and thusly, junior college bound...disappointment #1. The junior college I was attending, Modesto, had an art requirement for transferring students so I enrolled in a basic drawing class. Unfortunately I can't draw, a point that was driven home when the instructor laughed at my in-class assignment on the first day; drawing wasn't for me...disappointment#2. I found a photography class that fit the requirement and gave it a try as I've always liked to take pictures. I quickly learned that photography was much more than point, shoot and run to the local camera store to get my pictures back. However I also discovered I had a strong desire to learn more and go further; A few semesters and a few more photo classes later I transferred to the local
University I was accepted to a couple years earlier, only as a business major (photography wasn't offered). However I kept going back to the junior college everyday just for photography classes. After two or three semesters I discovered business wasn't for me...I hated it. A year or so wasted...disappointment #3.
