A lot has happen since May of 2009.
In my opinion, my life would be better if half of it didn't happen. I will spare you a lot of details. But, honestly, I feel that I am a wiser man for it. Though, sometimes, I feel like a damned fool for all of it.
Getting back to the photography aspect of this blog...
I had a few weeks of where I was seriously doubting that my career goal as a fashion photographer was indeed for me. As in, did I want fashion to be my main career in life, or was photography as a whole meant to be more as a hobby. I was worried when this happened.
Photography is a passion of mine. Especially as an art form. I use to draw... a lot... when I was in middle school and high school until one day, I picked up my pencil, and found that I couldn't draw anymore. Shortly after that, I discovered photography. I found a new outlet for my creative energies, and it slowly became a passion for me!
One evening at work (I work for Eastman Kodak right now, in case you didn't know that), I was talking to a co worker about photography. They are an advanced hobbiest, so they know more than the average bear. While talking to her, I started to feel the passion for photography build up inside of me. It was at that moment, that no matter what doubts I have within me, that I should strive to see my goal through!
I finally have my site up! www.troycopesphotography.com Bookmark it! It is still a work in progress. I will keep adding and taking images away from it probably for the rest of my life. The main site is hosted on deviant art. They started a online portfolio service, which is free if you choose to not use your own domain name. It is a nice flash site if you are on a budget. You can link your pictures straight from your already existing deviantart.com profile, or upload all new content! Just go to www.portfolio.deviantart.com to get started! I do plan on making a facebook page for the business as well... haven't reached a decision yet.
I am also completely obsessed with Melissa Rodwell's blog! You should book mark that as well! www.fashionphotographyblog.com
Now, for the geek portion of the blog!
I can not wait to see the new Tron movie coming out in December! I plan on seeing it in IMAX 3D! The 3D trailer for it looked SO amazing!
Gotta get back to editing!

Feeling the ups and downs of being a photographer is really just confirmation that you are in the right career. If you were indifferent you would really be in trouble. Don't give up. A great shoot is right around the corner.
