Hello...................I'm new here.............

Hello New World,
I am very unfamiliar with the world of blog, but I am here to give it a shot. 

I wanted to start this blog to give the self taught enthusiast (those individuals that have stayed on their personal grind to perfect their art) the chance to learn and grow with each other. I will start off by stating that I have always been an artist. At least a self proclaimed one. My mom could draw, and that was a skill that I was blessed with. It wasn't until I was fired from my job, that I began to revive this gift, but was uncertain of how to do that. 

Let me be the first to state, never knock a gamer. At the time, I realized that after my online classes, I had a lot of free time. At that moment, here comes Sims 2, back into my life. For a very long time, I was hard into it. Mainly because, I was confused with what to do with my life. Also, anyone that knows the Sims, knows that this game is a simulation game. It is not one of those "blow up the world with a machine gun" game, just a game where you, the player, can test out different lives, ex: baker, store owner, or slacker.

Well, I began to look on YouTube, and I saw that people used the sims to create music videos, shows, etc. It was very exciting, so I began to learn about that. I put out a few recreations on my YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/tr8cybaby, and began to expand. 

With the guidance of my good friend, Mic Mountain, he started teaching me about Photoshop. In fact, he gave me my first copy of PS7. Then, I started to wonder into photo retouching. Well, to make this story short, I began teaching myself retouching, and now, with the help of Leah Jones, learning photography. Although, my niche is in the fashion part of photography. 

With that being stated..................

Let's get started!
