i think i would enjoy being a photographer as i like taking photos and entering photo comps. I am very interested in photography and i think i will go far in this job, but the long hours of being a photographer scares me a little. I need to devolp on my patients and social skills as i would need to met more people and be more of a peoples person(which i am not) eg: weddings, events.This job will propley change over the years to me that means that more technogoly would change as cameras will delvop and the way they are used which means its more hard work to figure out. I think I need to work on how camares work eg: cameras, flashes, computers, lenses and films.
