I started a blog for my photography. I finally decided to just take the plunge and make something of myself as much as I can. I'm not to worried about it because if people like what they see and are interested then they will make a point of using me. I put images that I've been taking on the blog for them to see my work. I've had people ask, but I've always uploaded my images to facebook and not everyone has a facebook account.
I also ordered business cards for those who are really interested. I don't think I will be doing weddings any time soon, but I am feeling pretty comfortable with portraits and family pictures, which is what I originally wanted to do. The problem is that I've noticed that a lot of my local friends and peers have been taking up photography as well and it almost feels like a competition. This motivates me to practice and become better, but it does instill a little bit of fear that I will never be good enough. For now, I will keep on snapping pictures and learn from my mistakes.

What the New Year Brings
Well so far the New Year has been productive. My brother Tama came home from his mission. It was so exciting to see him walking up the arrival ramp with my mom and dad. The three nieces had matching I love Uncle Tama shirts and it was an emotional moment for me to hug him. After he was released, we went to Islands for his first meal home. The cheddar fries were amazing. I know he loved them.
In February, I started a diet. It's been a long road, but I am determined to lose 20 lbs by summer. I started off by doing a 1200 calorie diet. I did lose three lbs in four days, but I was starving all the time. So I switched over to a high protein, low carb low sugar diet. This diet was great at first and I was really motivated to do it, but now I've begun to lose my drive. I've lost 7lbs in the last four weeks and I feel great. I have more energy and I feel lighter. I haven't really started exercising and that is my next goal to add to the diet. I think if I had been more strict with the diet I would be losing more. But I have cheated a little here and a little there and so the losing process is slow. But I'm 1/3 of the way done and hopefully I can get past my goal of 20 lbs and get all the way to 30. But I am hopeful that incorporating exercise will help a lot.
We have also been working on getting Azure into modeling and acting. We have met with a company that scouted us out at the LA county fair. They seem legitimate and we are excited to see what comes of this experience. Azure is also excited, though I don't think she understands what it really means. I hope it works out for a while. I really would like for her to be able to earn money for college.
