What was your 'path'? in Casual Photo Conversations Posted March 17, 2008 Got my first camera at 14. Really young, I know. Went to some Young Photographer Workshops in Maine, Later returned to Maine for my AA Degree. Transfered to School Of Visual Arts in NYC and my career EXPLODED! Connections and contacts GALORE with SVA on my record. I assisted and studio managed with 10 different photographers. Moved to LA to continue with my freelance work. Now I am working on my masters at 28 years old. Getting ready to get on tenure track teaching college. Its really really really hard for younger people to take on the responsibilities (both financial and running a studio) when they start out. It takes such a large amount of capital to get yourself up and running that it is almost impossible. I salute you for getting out and kicking ass. I would think that as far as capitol and passion. It would be easier when you are already established financially.
