I have improved my photography skills in the last year. I am meeting with a tutor next week to learn how to use my new speedlight and I’ve been offered my first paying job.

I'm taking classes
18 months ago
I’ve started training and taking classes 2x week. It is so much fun and I am getting fit. It makes me feel good knowing that I can at least try to defend myself if I need to.
Mixed feelings
2 years ago
Well, I’ve lost the weight. I’m happy because I look better and fit into my clothes, but I lost the weight only because my Crohn’s disease is active again and I’ve been sick. I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks, but was also in the hospital and had stuff coming out of both ends at times.
I wasn’t “trying” to lose weight during this time, but when you are in pain and can’t eat, it just comes off. :(
I can’t wait to feel good again.
