Greetings Steemit! My very first post / Introduction.

Hi everyone!

A good friend and fellow photograher, @nathanedge, has been talking to me about Steemit for awhile now and has finally convinced be to get on board as a place to show my work, so here I am.

Hot n' Fuzzy066-2-2.jpg

I'm a #photographer out of #Austin, Texas and am currently living a double life. Since an early age I've always shown an affinity towards photography or image making. In September of last year I spent some time #solotraveling through Italy/Malta/Greece and decided that 2018 was the year that I transition from working in finance to pursuing a career in photography. My goal is to establish myself online, get steady paid work as a photographer, and leave the #cubiclelife once an for all.

My areas of interest are in portrait/lifestyle, travel and mixed media. I shoot with both film and digital (leaning towards shooting with film only more and more each day). My subjects are mostly female, but I hope to branch out with male and group subjects.

I look forward to posting on here frequently and sharing my journey into this new lifestyle. I hope that I can inspire and share knowledge with others with similar interests. That's it for now, just wanted to say hi. Thanks for taking the time to read my #introduceyourself post :)

Follow me! @john.r.allen @ dr@johnzo

I can totally relate to wanting escape from the 9-5, many of us have done that. It’s different for every person and I definitely have some advice for people who are trying to do it... my friend @kaylinart is an example of someone doing what you describe, she became an independent artist
