Declare Independence - Bjork

I think it'd be a good idea for me to title my blog entries with whatever song I'm listening to at the time I begin writing and the artist. Maybe it'll help set the tone, maybe I'll forget about the song completely and find it again!
I've noticed that I've always got music going. I never take the time to stop and appreciate how important music is in my life, and how thankful I am for what talent I have in terms of my musical abilities. I really am thankful that my parents refused to let my quit piano lessons when I was younger. I think music is a wonderful thing to lose yourself in, to help find some relation to your emotions, to dance to (although I do that badly haha); I could go on forever.
Today at work, I got graded by my superiors. I didn't do too badly, especially considering I've never really done portraiture before. Today was a good learning experience for me. I was shown the things I'm doing wrong, the things I need to improve on. I was shown examples of the proper way to do things, given ideas to work around tricky situations. I like being the youngest one in my workplace because everyone else has more experience than I do. Every day I learn something new at work and I know that won't ever change, because no matter how much I shoot, my experience will never surpass my coworkers. They all look out for me in a sense, the way they show me new poses, new prop positions, new ways of getting that perfect smile out of my subject(s).
I really do hope one day to open my own studio, or at least make a name for myself in the world of photography. I still have so much to learn, and who knows if this is the career I'm going to stick with. It may end up just being a hobby. Maybe one day I will return to psychology. Who knows what the future holds for me? Right now, all I know is that I have a passion for my job and I am going to pursue it for as long as I hold that interest.
Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day at work. I am going to put as many suggestions as I can that I received to use, and see how much I can improve. I've seen how much I've improved since I started at that studio, and I've come a long way, but I still have quite a road ahead.
