This blog, is my photography blog. I love photography. Fell in love with it in 2002 when I took my first college photography class and learned how to use the darkroom. It was fun. I loved the images that I was able to capture. I had looked into studying photography at the Brooks Institute of Photography; however, that was way above my price range. So, I decided to focus on my education in other discipline. I landed on Social Work and I LOVE it. Ever since I got my MSW, I had wanted to get another masters degree or my doctorate. Dr. Tiff. It just sounds awesome. So, last year, I applied and was accepted into the DSW program at USC. I was (and still am) super excited about this. However, due to a whole bunch of different things, I have decided to turn down the opportunity to get my DSW and have enrolled into the photography program at Santa Monica City College!
I have been looking at different photography programs for years. Classes here and there. The timing was always horrible. So, once I decided to turn down the DSW, I really focused on looking into the photography schools. When I was younger, my dad's colleagues had told him to have me go to SMC for photography. My dad worked at NBC, and I figure that if photographers in the business thought I should go to SMC, why not? So, I enrolled :)
Now. What to focus on. This, I think I have finally got an actual idea of. I want to merge my profession and my passions. After attending this years Womens March in DTLA, I realized how much fun it was to document it. I took 1227 photographs on two cameras. A bit ridiculous, but it was fun. I have also worked on my photography project, #WhatMakesAmericaGreat / #AmericaIsAlreadyGreat and love being able to visually communicate social work issues. So, I think I've figured out what I want to do. Documentary photography. Turning it into #SocialWorkPhotography.
Here are just a few shots from the Womens March 2018 in DTLA.
