Hello, world...

Looks like it's been a while since I wrote something here.

Let's go for a little "life update":
Nov 2006: got a job at Bell Canada --customer service
Jan 2007: quit that crappy job for better
Feb 2007: hired at Desjardins, also at the customer service, but the company is a fabulous place to work
May 2007: got more and more freelance job as a press photographer
June 2007: quit the job at Desjardins to work full time as a press photographer

So right now, I'm currently paid to take pictures. It's a part of what I wanted my life to be, but (there's a but) it's not that perfect, since I'm not allowed to make any choices regarding the subjects I have to cover.

Since I'm 4, I'm dreaming about National Geographic. I try to believe in miracles --I could one day be at the right place, at the right time, and meet someone able to push me up to that fabulous magazine...

Anyways I know what I like and dislike about my work. And I know what I'd like to do: building up big stories, covering big events. Forget about car crashes, fires, press conferences, baseball, paparazzing, criminals... I hate that.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see what will come up next. Luckily I'm acquiring lots of experience and I have some pretty cool stuff for a portfolio. All that is missing is time to work on it and finally publish it online...

In the next days I'll try to publish a "retro" of the pics I took since last fall... I have pretty good shots to share.

Back to work now --guess what I shoot tonight: baseball.

Until later,

A.

(Oh I have to explain the "love" mood: I went to a show in Toronto last Wednesday, brit band Muse, and it was awesome... I just love Matthew Bellamy.)

Vraiment tu as une superbe gallerie !!! Photographe de presse hein ? Chanceuse... mais j'imagine que nous le sommes aussi puisque tu vas continuer à nous inonder de photos géniales !!
:iconakel1a:
Hehe merci pour ta visite :)
Je suis effectivement chanceuse... mais le marché n'est pas évident à Québec, il faut jouer des coudes et avoir de bons contacts. J'essaierai de continuer à vous "inonder", mais tout dépend de mes assignations -et je ne publierai pas de photos de conférences de presse ici ;)

You have got a very nice gallery! I like your work. The concerts photos are awesome! :wave:
