Someone Took a Chance

What notable things happened today?

Today is a bit of a milestone for me.

I’ve got my first ever photography job.

Well, I say job — I’m one of the official volunteer photographers for this year’s Pride event in Torbay.

It might not be a paid position, but it’s the first time someone has looked at my photography and thought, “Yes, let’s give him a chance.”

More importantly, it’s an opportunity to learn. I’ll get to experience what happens behind the scenes on a real assignment; taking the photographs, editing them, and delivering the finished images rather than just pretending to be a photographer in my spare time.

Everyone starts somewhere, and today feels like the first real step on that journey.

So, fingers crossed, wish me luck, and let’s see what happens.

Stay safe,

Bc
