little steps towards a big dream

gabriellekai_pinkandgreen

When I came across this inspirational poem last week, the words spoke to me in ways that I could have never imagined.   I have so many hopes and dreams for my photography and where I would like to see my business going.   I have evolved in this space, and I am encouraged by every comment and e-mail that I receive!

As you might know, I am a self-taught photographer.  My work is a direct result of my experimentation with photography and finding my own style.  I have never had my work “judged” before – so you can imagine my apprehension when I submitted my work for the first time to a photography exhibit.

I received confirmation that two of the three images that I submitted – ‘be happy‘ and ‘collect your thoughts‘ – were accepted!  I am absolutely floored, thankful, and honored all at the same time.  The opening reception is October 1 – and I can’t wait to actually attend a gallery opening for a photography exhibit that will feature some of my work.

Little steps towards a big dream…..
