Great work dude but getting to that point after only an year is the real feat.

Thanks bro, it's with the help of friends, family, and you guys - the people who appreciates what I do. Couldn't done it without you guys. I was dinking around with family portraits and weddings for the first 6 months - which made me realized that I should have just gone straight to do what I wanted in the first place - fashion. But it did teach me patience, endurance, and shooting on-your-feet kind of thing.

I'm kind of in the same boat right now. My job is tedious, but steady and I'm at the point where I really want to go full time but just can't see myself without a consistent paycheck. I'm glad to see one of us actually do it from the thousands that say they want to haha. This year is definitely going to be a big push in the photography direction too. I hope I can have half the success you've had.

Alvin, congratulations man! I always love to hear about someone making a big step in their career.

Can I ask you what song that is playing on your website?

Thanks Chris! You can do it man - do what you have to bro. I made the decision to move home and get a studio first, because of high cost in commercial rates in downtown seattle. But I worked out a deal with management to basically live there and work there a couple months later. Things just works themselves out. I am about to sell my s2000 (keeping the Z of course) to invest in a new studio in LA or NY. There is so much you can do, if you are willing to make the changes necessary.
