Identity?

Self portrait circa 2004.

There are a lot of "photographers" some are amazing, some are mediocre...at best and there are a ton in the middle. At what point do we develop a photographic identity? A style that sets us apart from the rest of the herd. It could come sooner for some and later for others, after I graduated from school I was afraid I had already peaked. I didn't peak, I think I had a style back then but I think it was more adolescent. My first year at the Vail Daily was rough looking back at it now I got lucky a few times but most of my pictures were pretty bad. I still have my moments but I think I am a little more consistent. Do I have a style yet? I don't know I hope to one day.




I just missed making this a good photo...note the lens flare.
