“Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and<\/em><\/p>\n

uncomfortable when you try something new.” \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Brian Tracy<\/p>\n

The quote above describes a lot of my Challenge Detroit experience, and\u00a0I will plan on\u00a0embracing it as I take on my CD newest roll – \u201cPhotography Lead\u201d. \u00a0My extensive background in photography classes, awards, and professionalism can be easily be summed\u00a0up:<\/p>\n

1) I own a phone that takes picture<\/p>\n

2) I’ve taken pictures of friends\/family in unique situations<\/p>\n

3) My mom likes some of those photos on Facebook.<\/p>\n

With that weak background, plus the fact that I\u2019m following two previous Photography Lead\u00a0Pros (Jon & Alyssa), I should be freaking out. However, I am embracing the mantra of the\u00a0quote, and am up for the awkward uncomfortable challenge.<\/p>\n

I also have a two pronged approach to becoming a serviceable photographer:<\/p>\n

1. Practice \u2013 I plan on taking a ton of shots! The more I take, theoretically, the better I\u00a0will\u00a0become. Plus, it\u2019s easier to find a couple primo pics when you can choose\u00a0from hundreds of options.<\/p>\n

2. HELP \u2013 I plan I soliciting advice from as many people as possible. Whether you are\u00a0a treasure trove of photography knowledge, or have an eye for telling a story through\u00a0photos, I would love your help (starting below).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I recently restarted my P90X routine (great transition huh?), and one of the steps is to take before\u00a0and after shots of your body transformation. Now there is no way I\u2019m displaying these photos,\u00a0but in the same vein, I thought I could show some photos I\u2019ve recently taken (not all in Detroit,\u00a0sorry CD leadership). Hopefully, in four months one will be able to see some \u201cgrowth\u201d in my\u00a0photography skills.<\/p>\n

PS \u2013 I\u2019m already open for business when it comes to advice\/tips, so hit me up with your thoughts\u00a0based on the shots below.<\/p>\n
