Story of a Photographer

Story of a Photographer

                      Gate Bridge jump back in San Francisco and I've been here on vacation and it's 

been fantastic going to New York than 

Washington DC and now I'm back where I 

used to live in San Francisco and we're 

staying with friends and I'm not doing 

huge amount of photography over the last two weeks but I decided to come out because I really wanted to come back to the places they used to photograph and where I did my first vlogs as well and and just see everyone get some good shots so I'm going to come out this evening and this and shoot the Marin Headlands here sunsets in that direction you can see the sun shining on me and it'll probably be a little bit of a glow and maybe get some night shots afterwards on the on the city and then tomorrow morning I'm gonna get up and see if we get some fog coming in as well so yeah it's going to be fantastic I don't even going to get anything I've got to admit it was pretty hard to get out as well and actually shoot tonight the beer was calling this where we're staying with our friends have just filled the fridge with beer so that was definitely a calling but I thought yep she'll get out and I'm really glad I did now so I'm gonna explore this area and see what I can find it's really green because we're in the springtime so it's lots of rain and I've got here just before it goes brown so she'll get something a little bit different it's really funny actually because today's video I thought I come up here and find some compositions and tell you about them and probably give you maybe a top tips on composition and maybe call the video something like composition and the Golden Gate Bridge or something like that but now I'm here and I'm just sort of looking at it and I think yeah I used to work in San Francisco and I think actually you know it's probably better to talk a little bit about passion in photography and and following your passion because I used to work there I used to work there and run the software business and I suppose there's nowhere in the world that sums up the software industry as much as San Francisco does and I mean I suppose if you'd have asked me 20 years ago or 15 years ago when I when I started my company you know I thought that was a dream to come here but I was never I was never really happy and it was always a really big step to go from all those years I spent learning about running building a software company marketing and ruining the business to sort of throw all that away and set up that's a really YouTube channel and selling my prints and doing photography and how really worried about it a lot I thought nobody's gonna buy my prints no one's gonna watch my video but I've done it it's the best thing I've ever done and I don't think you can quite understand it until you've actually done it but you know if you are thinking about it then just take a few little baby steps maybe because I can guarantee you it's so amazing and yeah it's difficult with from a monetary point of view.
