Second Week

Thank God for all these interesting and nice people who have let me photograph them. Some have refused, saying "It's weird" or they don't want anything to do with "no website." It just makes the project all the more enjoyable. The real challenges I'm finding are in those who accept and then, on I go, trying to portray them in a manner suitable to the project. Very difficult for me. I don't know much about documentary photography, but I'm looking a lot at William Eggleston's work. Look him up, he's good! If you recommend any good documentary books, please let me know. I have only shot in Kingsville right now. I really like what a small town looks like photographically. I can't wait to shoot in Corpus, too. I'm excited that I have been able to wake up at 6ish!!! You don't know how difficult it is, but I'm doing it, woohoo! Also all it really takes to get past the timidity to ask people, is to try it a couple of times. It's getting easier, even though I feel silly talking to them about it, it's becoming more natural and fun. Thanks for reading and keep following along to see what becomes of this. I encourage you, too to start on whatever project has been lingering in your mind. Stop thinking about it and just do it. 

Oh yeah, and pray for me. My arm has been hurting, so it's holding me back a bit. God willing, I heal soon and can hit this project full force.
