I believe!!!

When bad things happen to you too often, you tend to be a disbeliver when good things happens.
For the longest period of time, nobody came up to me to aknowledge my talents and abilities.
For the longest period, people have been making use of me and yet being unrealistic critical about it.
Let's face it, they cannot even draw a decent egg and they can say what I draw looks bad.........
Oh Please!!! Look at the mirror before you comment!
I can draw a Van Gogh or a Da Vinci, they cannot even draw a decent square without using a ruler,

Recent Events have changed alot of my perspectives!
I took up photography on a serious basis and started experimenting ........
drawing reference from the great painters instead of thinking from the viewpoint of a guy with a camera.
I know this is controversial but too many people out there just join in organised shoots and get conveyer belt results.
What is wrong with these people? Don't they have their own artistic directions and style?
Some people's minds are just so closed and unreceptive to new ideas.
They just flip their FHM, Maxim or some Jap Idol magazine and start copying what they see.
End result, too many photos that look the same..... BORING!!!
Ha ha, and they can still criticise me and Aver cos we have weird angles and the shoot being over or under exposed.......
All that was done intentionally!!!
They just cannot accept someone who has the BALLS to be different!

I have been running around with my namecards these days and selling my services.
Have been getting very positive responses too.
In the past, when Aver said I have super good angles...... I did not really believe her.......
Thought she is saying that cos she is my girlfren n just wanna make me feel good about myself.
I just like to experiment and do things differently..... something that comes naturally to me.......
so it did not feel different to me.
Meeting up with the people who are your potential customers is an interesting experience!
And they said the same thing as Aver: I LOVE YOUR ANGLES!!!!
Okie okie...... I am convinced now........
Even a few friends I lost contact with sort of looked thru my portfolio and even showed their friends and yup....same results.... Super with angles!!!

Okie , Okie.... I believe now..... I have very creative angles and an unorthodox shooting style!!!
Now to move on with the show.....to show the world that JERI CAN BE THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE WORLD!!!
