In other news, I realized slightly too late that it was world photography day, and all I’ve gotta say is that I feel so thankful. 🩵
The day I picked up a camera and took some pictures of dogs playing with frisbees, something clicked- and it wasn’t just the camera. I realized very quickly that this felt right. I’ve always been a creative individual who has explored the arts all my life, from drawing, painting, to even writing, and while I enjoyed those hobbies, nothing truly stuck the way photography did.
If you would have asked me even some odd months ago if I would be surrounded by such love and support from friends and strangers alike who *enjoy* my photos, I would have laughed and said, “yeah, right.” but that’s become a reality!
I feel so lucky to have gotten to know so many more people after taking up this new avenue. I still have so much more to learn and do, but I feel comfortable and happy where I am right now. I get to take photos of dogs doing all the things they love, and immortalize them forever.
Castaway Images started as just an idea, named after my personal dog, Wilson, who was subjected to being my muse and inspiration when I was just starting out. He’s been so incredibly patient and truly the best model I could have asked for- so much so that a shutter sound will get him to turn his head and pose… 😅
But again, thank you to all of my amazing followers who stalk my galleries when I’m neck deep in editing… it means the absolute world to me.
And thank you for 100 followers. 🩵
