Back since Nov 2006 I have been a "pro" photographer offering my services in the form of doing photos for things such as clothing lines needing to get their product shot for ecommerce stores, or any other type of business really, as well as shooting portfolio shots for some of the larger Vancouver talent as far as models go, or those that I think have a unique look that I haven't shot before.

Since then my photos have jumped leaps and bounds, and now I am offering pretty much magazine quality photos for everyone I shoot with. Whether it's a product shot, or a personal reminder of how you looked in your youth, they are memories that don't fade and can be remembered again and again by all (or we can keep them private too if you like) you choose to share them with.

That being said, I throughly enjoy doing development and still plan to continue doing this in the future. I've been doing it since I learned algebra, so I have learned a thing o two about what it is to do this profession. That's over 13 years for those that don't already know.

With that in mind, I have realized just how much I enjoy doing photography. Something that I have never experienced during all the years doing software development for large companies doing tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars in business on the web. It comes when you do any sort of creative art, whether it be music (which I am trying to learn to truely understand with my new electric guitar), painting, photography, graphic arts, really any sort of creative form where you lay down a permanent track or piece of art that never fades. With websites and this constant rate of change, you really forget to make that next feature or next piece of the project that important. To the extent that it really could be never forgotten.

When it comes to now looking back at my programming, with this new way of seeing a creative day in photography, you change your approach, to now include a quality never before found. It has brought a rejuvenation to my coding that I can't explain. Not long ago I was thoroughly wanting to find another career, I felt like I had reached the top, and with all the bullshit that was going on with the conference scene, I was about ready to make it big doing something else. Well I found it, but I have relearned why I like developing so much. You really can make something that may very well never be forgotten.
