The other side of the camera.

This doesn't relate much to my photography...

But yesterday, Alex [boyfriend] and I went to Sears to get our picture taken, just for fun...and it's SO weird being on the other side of the camera.

The story.

This is the first blog EVER written for Jennuine Photography. I'm not completely official yet, but hopefully I get a website up and running soon.

My name's Jenn Nguyen, so you can see [and hear] the connection between that and the name of my photography. This name was started about four to five years ago by a lovely lady named Chanelle Paul, but I call her Nellie. Of course, she would always call me that WITH a Chinese accent. Little did I know, this would be the start of something really awesome. [me] LOL.

I got my first camera way back in Grade 10. It was a small point and shoot, Kodak. Of course, it would break four months later. Then about a year later, I got another Kodak point and shoot from my mom, and it worked REALLY well. So well, that I got the same one after I broke that one. But this was when I started to see the world a little differently. God's creation is AMAZING, and I wanted to capture it all to post it up on my walls. I got my small camera to do a lot of crazy stuff. Sometimes people would ask me if I used a macro lens, and I would say, "HELL NO BABY! It was a lil' ol' point n' shoot!" not word for word, obviously.

So to continue my story...

I then decided that I was going to start doing poorly in school, I didn't do my homework, I'd skip, etc. Then, in Grade 12, I decided to load up on my arts courses, since I was doing academics for most of my life. Photography 12 was just a filler course for me. I was thoroughly interested, but I knew nothing about it, and I didn't think I wanted to learn. It became my favourite course, with my favourite teacher. Without her, I probably would not have graduated with the rate I was going. She told my I had an eye for this. I took that, and ran.

July 2008 was when I got my DSLR, my big camera. I was reccomended to get the Nikon D40. I have yet to regret it. It was small and light, and really easy to use. It costed $556. 97 and it was great. Of course, I knew close to nothing about how useful M,A,S,P were, so I stuck with auto for the longest time. I had good photos, but I knew there was something more.

I then decided to enroll myself in a 10 week workshop at Vancouver Photography Workshop [Ontario & 7th]. The classes ended yesterday, November 12, 2009. I am proud to say that there is a HUGE difference in my photos, and my confidence behind them.

Coincidentally, I met this girl, Angela, way back in Grade 9 for three months. About a month ago, I see her working at a Starbucks not too far away from my house. I told her I was trying to find a job in photography, and she told me that they were hiring at Sears Portrait Studios. So I applied, and got the job. It's great.

So far, I'm loving it. The next step you ask? Is to start a real portfolio and get admitted into VanArts.
