First Gig

The last post I talked about finding someone to help teach me a bit about photography and how I had a pretty good idea on who that person would be. Unfortunately, time moved a bit faster than I expected.

Last week, I was called to photograph the 12th annual Independant music awards... Pretty big task for me I must say, but I jumped at opportunity because I might not be so lucky to obtain an opportunity like that again. So the day of the event, I got my camera ready, cleared the memory on my 32 gb memory card and set off to the event. When I arrived I was given a media pass to get inside and the place was packed with talented local talent. When they performed, they shone on stage and made me proud to be a torontonian.

During the event, I set my camera on auto and started snapping photos of the artists. I got about 200 photos taken, some of them were terrible but most of them were pretty good. I'm personally really glad that I got to experience that because now that just makes me want to be better at it and I will soon enough.

The person that called me to action for the event was so happy with my work that she wants me to do another event for her next week. It almost seems like the minute I got this camera and began this blog that things are just being put in my path to entertain whoever is reading it. I'm now kind of anxious to see what happens next week.
