First Goal


As I stated in my About Me section, I'm coping this idea from a fellow army wife, one post and one picture for the next 365 days. However I'm not sure where to begin.

Lets see, I live in El Paso, TX which is a complete opposite of Anchorage, AK. It's not bad just really, really different. My husband I believe hates it here with a passion. He has his reasons but I really don't feel the same. I mean there are things that I don't like and think are wrong but I can't change them so better make the most of it, right? One thing I keep telling myself is that this is a learning opportunity and I need to find the positive in a negative.

The landscape here is something I haven't gotten use to yet. I miss my trees and pretty wildflowers. Although I have enjoyed photographing and learning the cacti around here. Since work in my field is scarce I've been trying to build my portfolio and client base to possibly opening up my own photography business full time. So far I've done a few small shoot but don't feel 100 % about my pictures, especially portraits. I'm working on it and hope I can one day make a living with it. Being an Army wife and moving all around, your job or career needs to be portable and since most army posts aren't near the ocean, I don't think I can make marine biology a realistic profession right now. Some of the army wives websites say to find something you love doing and are passionate about then turn it into a business. Here is the address to my facebook portfolio - http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Puanani-Photography/125711197469253?ref=ts

My first goal is to start a photography business in the near future.
