So, for those that have been reading my blog, you’ll notice a difference (hopefully!) It’s no longer called “Cupcakes and Drum breaks” or “Where’s my Pineapple?” Since I’ve had my kiddo, I’ve gone through a crazy transformation. Of course, from not a mom to a mom, but also to a stay at home mom without a “normal” job and without a whole lot of friends to talk about it all with. So, my kiddo has become my guru (This is what all my yoga teachers have said to me, and they are 100% correct!) He is forcing me to look inside and discover myself and I’m actually becoming myself, my new self. Which is all kinds of awesome and anxiety. Not only am I going through this, where am I/who am I thingy, I’m realizing a lot of things about myself that I already knew but have put away deep down. It’s pretty incredible and at times, pretty rough. Many times, I feel like I’ve come full circle.
Well, there’s a little deepness for you. And that’s all for now! Ha!
Throughout my life, I’ve always been drawn to photography. During high school years, I enjoyed it. After high school, I went through an artsy photo faze and took classes at the Sawtooth Center. And lastly, my final college project was a photography project (I was a recording industry major, but ended up with also a journalism/media design concentration as well as almost a major in film studies. LOVED Dr. Holtzclaw!) which is when I came up with “Shutter Butter Photography.” When I finished my college project, I had hoped I’d continue photography but I had some other life issues that sprung up. And let’s face it, I have not had the best self esteem or confidence in myself, definitely not enough to where I thought I could actually be a photographer. Something you may or may not know about me, is I’ve been a dj for quite a while, not so much now because baby, but during that whole hip hop age and so forth, I’ve never been confident about being that dj girl.. and have pretty much had to con my brain into getting up on stage every. single. time. Most of the time, alcohol was used to cover up anxieties.
Alcohol was never the answer, but it’s definitely something that isn’t easy to do now! Okay, sorry to get all honest and personal AGAIN! So, here I am. Back with my fresh camera and it feels good and this time, I feel like I can do it. Of course, learning photoshop all over again is a whole ‘norther story! (Got any tips?) but I’m feeling like I’m where I’m suppose to be. Before I get too carried away, let’s just move on to some images, yes?! Thanks for stopping by and reading my woes. A little b/w action, a little fun with avocado and then that last image is a little over exposed, but I kind of like it anyways (of course, I’m biased!) I could fix it, but I decided not to edit any of these. And just so everyone knows, BLOCKHEAD (as mentioned in a previous post) has a new album available for streaming. Check it out here: blockhead Thanks again for stopping by. Let me know your thoughts or questions, if you have any or want to share! And hopefully, Shutter Butter is here to stay!
