Journey To Remix - FAILED

Hi guys, sorry to inform you that I did not make it into the Remix Project 6.0...I'm not going to lie and say oh well maybe next time..I'm hurt...and I feel real discouraged and ready to give up...a friend of mine said

..."don't you dare or I'll buss your ass" lol another friend told me "Don't worry about it. Keep pushing your work. you'll be fine"...

all this is true. Wherever you go on your journey you WILL be rejected more than once. Now the question is what do I do from here. Do I become pitiful and wallow in my discouragement or do I keep moving and be recognized for the work I KNOW i can do. God I'm so mad that I didn't get in! but it's not the end of the world or my dreams...so I learned from my mistakes and I'll continue pressing on..

but to clarify one thing...that I put into previous posts about Remix...me being accepted into this program was more than about me shaping my skill and getting further. It was about me finding a place and people that I could share my craft with. I don't have a lot of friends that share my interest and I don't know a lot of people that do what I do(Although Toronto is FILLED with them). Me getting accepted to remix was about finding those people and not to sound so corney, find people I could almost call family... I think that's why me not getting accepted hurt a bit more..I not only feel that I missed out on a program that would help grow my career but i feel I missed out on growing within myself...

anyway I'm re-examining my interview in my head and I'm seeing where I went wrong. I'm going to write a post on it so that I can better handle a situation like this for the future. And hopefully it may help someone else who reads this blog...

until next time friends Peace and Love

Stylus Awards

Hello everyone, I know it has been awhile since I've come on the blog and for that I am sorry but I have been very very busy which is a real good thing. I'm one step closer to achieving my dreams and ambitions! So I was volunteering for a very cool event called Stylus Spin-Fest and the Stylus DJ Awards. You all remember it from my previous post. So I'm there helping out in anyway that I can.In the process I'm meeting a lot of cool people and a lot of cool artist around Toronto when one of the coordinators of the event sees me with my camera and asked if I could do some event photos. I was like HELL YEAH! so I had to really bring it and showcase the skills I have. I was really intimidated when I saw the other photographers with their amazing equipment. But I never let that get me down and did my best..Like Teddy Roosevelt said "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" and I did! Anyway enough rambling here are a few of the photos that I took from that day. Tell me what you think?
