I have developed a new roll of Lomo! :) See more of my photography over at my flickr!
I’ve been thinking a lot about photography lately. Maybe I have chosen the wrong path? I’m currently a law student, but all I can think of these days is how much I would like to study photography. I don’t claim that I have talent, but I have passion, and that counts for something, right?
However, this choice is too big and comlicated. I’m so confused.
It’s interesting you are thinking about the choices you’ve made because I am currently in the process of applying to law school although I love photography so much. I’ve been doing it for nearly 10 years now but have never considered approaching it as a life path. I say, why not have both? :)
Mycket fina bilder :D
I don’t know why you said what you did on my blog, these photos are fantastic!
I especially love the bike shot…those long shadows and magic hour light streaming across the road- perfect!
You’re making me covet your LCA. I’ve wanted one for so many yrs but just never bought one for some reason.
Great shots!
gorgeous! as for the dilemma.. you don’t have to only choose one or the other!
Stick to law mi’dear. I know alot of professionals who have great passion for photography. Plus, your pay can buy you good equipment. Tis True!
So yeah, just do both. Photography can be a way for you to relieve stress and such. :)
You are really good at photography!
My advice would be , carry on with law, if you enjoy it. Make lots and lots of money and be able to do all of the things that you want
And take a photography night class, maybe once a week, learn the basics and then develop your skills in your free time, as sarah said, with all the fancy equipment that you will be able to afford!

ah! i love it!!!
I am a lawyer. If I could do it over again, I would spend the years and piles of money/loans on something interesting, fun and full of passion. Making lots of money is not enough for me – not by a long shot. The rest of one’s life is a lot of years. That’s my very personal take on it – everyone’s different.
One more thing about some people’s advice to take your lawyer’s income and spend it on photography classes and equipment. You won’t be able to leave the office in time to take a photography class (or yoga class, guitar class, book club, happy hour, etc) and you’ll rarely be out in the daytime to take pictures – not with one of those high-paying jobs. Trust me, I’ve been there. I left that life for work at a non-profit, which is an improvement but much less money.
there’s a little blog award and tagging waiting for you on my blog :)
For me, I believe in following the heart. Idealistic, some may say. But it’ll carry one alot further and through tougher times than money. Nice images!
Really wonderful photographs. I love how you play with the light and shadows. As for your work dilemma, just trust that life will take you on the right path. Believe me — I’ve gone from actress to tutor to scientist to philosopher (with a few other things tossed in there). If you love photography, do it. And if you love law, do that too. There’s no reason you should ever have to only be one thing. Someday, you may choose to be a photographer full time — mysteries of what will happen make life so exciting.
You take beautiful photos. (I don´t know you, just look at your blog once in a while, so I actually don´t want to comment on your future and choice. But I can say one thing generally – and that is that having a passion is lovely. Totally crazy great. Just watch out so the passion you feel for something dosen´t blow in your face, when you do it all the time. Even the most funny things could turn in to rainy Wednesdays. But rainy Wednesdays could be the best days, sometimes…)
I went through this exact same dilemma in uni. I even applied for the photography degree. I took whatever units I could of photography at my uni and surprisingly I got top of the class. If I could have my time over I would of done an arty or photography degree. But I understand how difficult a decision it can be. I stuck with my eng studies because it had a clear job at the end. But if I knew then what I know now I would of followed my passion. once you start work the rest of your life is a long time and money means nothing without doing what you love. I’m lucky now in that my blog has lead to lots of amazing creative opportunities and in a way im now able to do both.
is there any way you can do a double degree so you wont have to decide yet? or enroll in a diploma of photography? I know at my uni you could do a diploma in creative arts along with your degree.
i have to agree with the previous comments, follow your heart, always ♥
i love these pictures !! really :)
