That’s awesome! Sounds like a good life too! 🙂
Yeah I went from Hollyweird from Texas then to the Florida Keys, by sailboat, met my hubby and stayed. I had one person ask to shoot their wedding and I was horrified. I never in a million years thought that would be my biz. Turned out I actually loved it and was great at it. I built a mini empire and then bought myself my retirement property in Costa Rica. Little did I know I was far from retiring. I now run a 4 cabin B&B, I recently opened an art gallery and still shoot a few commercial and or family gigs on the side. Truth be told, in College in Austin, Texas I went to school for photography and the arts. I wanted to be a Nat Geo photog. I was told by my teachers that since I was a woman, that would never happen. So I switched gears, got into the film and music side of things for 15 years. Now I feel I have come full circle, able to photograph all the amazing wildlife and scenery in my own yard. I have been too busy at times to double check my equipment and so this is why I came here to post. Lesson learned for sure! Thanks for all your advice and help. I am always up to learning more. - Michaelynn
