That awkward first post.

I'm just a normal guy living a normal life. I'm trying to be a photographer, wish me luck. There are more people now taking up photography than ever before and you either need to completely different or just damn lucky to get noticed. I guess that's why I'm starting this blog , to document why shortcomings and failures as I struggle to get noticed.

With the pessimistic intro out the way I guess I should start with who I am. I'm a 21 year old living on the West Coast of Scotland. About three years ago I started to take a keen interest in photography as my dreams of being a musician had started to fail. My main hobby at the time was airsoft , for those of you who don't know it's similar to paintball. I began my venture into photography by taking pictures of my guns and other kit. To my amazement people liked it, so much so an online magazine approached me to take photos for them. I was hooked. The deal with the magazine was short lived but it has gave me a taste of something new , something I lusted for. Ever since then I haven't had any breaks but lets hope this blog gives me focus I need to make a change.

I guess this will have to do for now but I'll leave you all with this picture. It's my Dad, one of the biggest influences in my life. He taught me to care and help others and be who I want to be.

Note: my dad is not the dog.
