So, so many did it before me and so many will make it after me. So far I have a long history of photography:
I had cameras since I was a kid. I used to take photos for fun and to make memories for years before I thought to make a job out of it.
I found myself almost by mistake taking my part at the my first exhibition at 2008. I had many more since. So far only group exhibitions. The first solo exhibition never happened mostly because of the money I didn't have for more of it. I gave up some group exhibitions from the same reason. So many I made with an ordinary "home" camera, like those that were at every house before smartphones.
I opened this blog.
I received a loan for a professional Nikon camera (my favorite firm, even the ordinary camera I had for the last 10-15 were only Nikon).
I took some photos for a dogs' shelter that I volunteer at. Most of the dogs I took their photos with my pro camera found homes. I took some photos also for another foundation few times.
I took some pro photos for my dog just because I love him.
I took few workshops of dancing photography. I took photos at special shows of modern dance made for few photographers only.
I took photos also photos at flamenco shows just for fun and learning to do it better. I received a permission to take some photos at a rehearsal for another flamenco show.
I took outdoors photography session for a friend of mine - the singer/song writer Elisete. Later on I took photos at a show of hers. I took photos at a show of the musician Itamar Rothschild, not before I asked him if accept it. The photos from Itamar Rothschild's show let me an entrance to the crew of Raash Magazine. I took photos in some shows for the magazine (not enough yet for me). And since I took photos at another two shows without a connection to the magazine. The show of Elisete and a show of a musician called Oshrat Gal. Got to know her by luck.
From time to time I take photos at restaurants and coffee shops that I like.
I want my photography history will get longer and bigger. I want to have enough money to do so. I want to earn money for it with respect. I want to rent a studio and get some more photography equipment and equipment for making some of it. I want to get back for showing at exhibition without to worry about the money. Maybe finally to make my first solo exhibition.
For making my dreams of photography for reality - I started a project for getting money for it. You could get many things for helping get my dreams for real.
