EOC week 2: Lawyers


          To be perfectly honest lawyers to me are a necessity. Yes many people do argue that lawyers are slimy, egotistical, soul selling pains, but they do serve a good purpose. This particular group of people goes to school for years on end and sits through what many of us would consider boring lectures just to learn a multitude of what I would also consider useless information about political crap, just in order to do their jobs.  Lawyers are there to defend everyone from your average joe to your fortune 500 company CEO. Yes some would say that lawyers sell their souls to the devil (and they may, if that’s what you believe in) but other lawyers are there because they want to be that person that helps others and were just to queasy to become someone in a health related position. There are those lawyers out there that do do pro bono cases which means that they do them for free, if they believe that the case is a good one and if it also hits close to home, (in other words they take a very personal interest in it). Yes they are like picking out your needle in a haystack but they do exist. Lawyers do the jobs that some of us would not even consider, they have to lie, cheat, and steal along with a multitude of other things that also includes defending the nations best criminals. Lawyers have to take the step below the steps in order to do their job even if they are morally challenged while doing that job. I believe that in order to be a lawyer you would have to be a strong person. A person that would possibly be challenged by everyone and everything around them but would be okay knowing that this could be a fact.

Week 1 EOC: About Me


As a photographer I believe that I see a world that others do not. I take that extra step to go beyond the normal and shoot for the ignored.  In my photography I want to help others to see the beauty that is still in the world, the beauty that is forgotten in our every day-to-day life. Weather it be nature, architecture, or even people I believe that it is a necessary to help show the world that there is more to life then just our assumptions. Photography is about more then just taking a picture to me, it is about finding the usual or unusual aspects of life and laying them out for all to see, about breaking things down and showing its raw beauty.  Photography is more then a career or job it’s a lifestyle and a lifestyle that I have chosen to undertake as a part of my being. I want my photography to speak, to tell stories to all who see. Making a great photograph is not difficult because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but a great Photographer is creating a beauty that speaks to all. A beauty that signifies that the picture is speaking to the person that is viewing it, but also allows the viewer to understand what they are seeing as well.
