So I always say i'm going to write a "real" blog and I figure since I don't have much going on today I think now is a better time than anyway...

Heres the bottom line, i've outgrown San Jose and I need to get out of this city because I feel there's really nothing here for me. I'm not a tech-head which is what this area is known for, not so much photography, fashion etc...I don't want to just shoot corporate head shots, edit kid or pet photos, or weddings and thats all there really is around here. Sometimes I just think I might need to find something else and just keep photography as an aggressive hobby but regardless I GOT to get out of San Jose. I just don't really know whats the right move for me

here are my options

San Francisco - It wouldn't be too far away from friends and family and a good chunk of my friends already live up there and it would make shooting a lot easier for me to do for the SF and Oakland girls and I'd be living in a super nice apartment for a really damn good price but is there enough photo work in my field in San Francisco? Do I like San Francisco enough to live in it? I love parts of it but it's a big city and photo opportunity jobs there are better for sure but there might not be enough..

Los Angeles - I don't really care for LA all that much as a city but I'll admit it does have some really rad things in it and maybe if I spent the right time in the right places there I might grow to enjoy it. This is definitely the city I need to be in to pursue a photography career and honestly Id be happy with a job just in the industry and do photography on the side, that way at least my right skills are going to be used in the right places. I do have family down there and can probably make new friends so maybe I could put up with it?

Portugal - I don't know If i can function in a country where I don't speak the native language. I did enjoy my time there last year and do want to go back to visit but I don't really know what else I'd be doing there other than doing something for SG once in awhile and plus when you're not native to europe, it's pretty expensive but maybe it would be good to not live in America for an extended amount of time... America is a good country in many ways, but it's so bad in other ways and basic needs like health care profits are put ahead of the well being of people and everything here is so money oriented, but i've often thought of how if moving out of the country might be a good thing.

Hawaii - i'd basically have to start from the ground up here, I have family here and things in Hawaii are slower paced and the people there are friendly and the weather can be good, and well there are no SGs over there so maybe it would be good to get some presence out there, I just worry I'll get bored of the place

so yeah those are my options.... I need to decide about one of them before this year is up because I need to make changes in my life and getting out of this city would help change everything

Thanks for getting Dice on the front page. She could use some good energy for sure

on a side note how come it's so hard to find a girl to take out to dinner and walk dogs with?

also on a completely different level I wonder if most people think this is what my job is like
