One Step At A Time!

Hello everyone,

I have step away for a bit to focus on my mental health and boy did it help. I been focusing on my photography as I use photography to distract myself. I know I always say my photography is getting good but is because I been loving my results. Knowing that all the hard work and time spent studying is paying off is such a great feeling. Sometimes knowing that you're doing great is enough to boost your mood. Taking time to address your mental health is important and as I have gotten older I have learn to take time for myself and address what ever issue that is bothering me. I been trying to get a therapist and talk as well but unfortunately my insurance has made it next to impossible to get one. Which is really bad I know there are people at a worse spot mentally then I am and if they have the same issue as I am trying to get a therapist there's no telling what could happen to them. If you have kaiser you will know how they don’t have therapist here in the Northern Virginia area. They are relying on a third party company called livongo or mystregnth. I made an account and immediately got an error message when trying to look for a therapist. I called them immediately and they eventually escalated the issue to the IT department. That was 2 month ago I emailed them last month and I was told that they haven’t forgotten about me and are working on the issue. It is crazy to me that they are still looking into this even after 2 months it completely blows my mind. I would love to hear if anyone has had an issue with this company.

I been getting up very early to get sunrise photos. I been enjoying the style of photography that I been into as of late. Not sure what to call it or what it is but I just been focusing on capturing moments showing vibrant colors and capturing beautiful sunrise or sunsets. I actually created a special folder in my portfolio as I don’t know what this style of photography is called I named it moments captured. This portfolio shows off my artistic side and what my vision was when starting photography. I feel like I am good enough to finally start showing you my vision and boy has it been fun. If you have time after reading this please go check it out is been a lot of hard work putting this together and here is the fruits of my labor. This photo was captured this morning when I went to watch the sunrise over the potomac. The vibrant colors and composition are so perfect. I wanted to capture the airplane with the monument in the back and sunrise lighting the photo. I feel like I captured just that. I hope you enjoy it and take a look at the portfolio. I am keeping this one short as I still want to take some time for myself. I just wanted to give this small update and hope you enjoyed. I will be taking a break from fun fact Friday for now and hope to be back next week. Until them I hope everyone has a great week.
