Transform: A Video by Zack Arias

I am my own worst critic. I had been doing photography for more than 3 years now, but I am still not happy with my images. I really want to do photography full time but I can't leave my full time job because of fear that my images are not of commercial quality yet. Most of the time I can't help myself but wonder: Will I be able to make that jump? Will I ever have the skills like my idols Chase Jarvis and Nick Onken? It's really easy to feel down. But there's a lot of reasons to cheer up. This video by Zack got me really inspired. Thanks bro!

My Favorite Photographers

I used to have a lot of spare time and I used those spare times to browse the internet.  I have read limitless number of blogs and checked a lot of photographers' portfolios.

Inspite of all those blogs and portfolios I have read and seen, I noticed one thing to myself. I only keep on coming back to 3 blogs and view 2 portfolios when I seek inspiration. Since nowadays, I don't have much time browsing the web anyway, I try to make use of my time efficiently.

So who are my 3 favorite photographers? They are:

1. Chase Jarvis - www.chasejarvis.com

2. Nick Onken - www.nickonken.com

3. David Hobby - www.strobist.com

So why are they my favorites? Very simple. They are all great photographers, their imagery is amazingly beautiful, I love their style and they ADD VALUE to the community of photographers!

Coincindentally, Chase Jarvis is both a friend of David Hobby and Nick Onken. Nick even calls Chase his friend/mentor.

Check out their blogs and sites regularly. I assure you that you won't be wasting your time. You might even find yourself glued to your chair once you start reading their blogs. Amazing contents!
