Introduce Yourself cont. - More to say!

Hello there fellow Steemers! (Steemitz? Steemians? Steemholes..?)
… idk. I’m still figuring this thing out.

  • So, I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by!
    I’m a photographer and writer from Boston. And I am open to ANY AND ALL advice you would be willing to share with me!! My goals on Steemit are probably similar to everyone elses; gain some exposure, make a little money (hopefully), & meet some new/interesting people.
  • I’m also open to answering any and all questions that YOU have. Really!
    For example ask me about: myself, yourself(lol), photography, my hometown, travel, sex, politics, religion, aliens, advice on females, advice for females, pets, dating, conspiracy theories, hair, makeup and all kinds of other shit I have no business talking about, I’m sure.. but you name it and I’m down to chat with you about it.

So I’ll show you who your talking to and then I'll tell you a little bit about myself…
IMG_4836.jpg Hello!

Alright here's little bit about me;

  1. I was raised in Boston, Mass. but was born in Las Vegas. (We only lived there for the 1st year of my life) <— The story of how I came to be born in Vegas is an interesting one.. I will have to share it with you guys another time.
  2. We moved from Vegas to California and spent 1 more year living in the high desert Apparently it was scorching hot during the day and absolutely freezing at night. (We moved back to Boston when I was 2 years old)
  3. I am an only child. No siblings, no half siblings. My parents clearly had their hands full lol
  4. When asked - I tell people that I am half Italian & half Irish. But in reality I am also a little French, Scottish and Native American.
  5. Photography, travel and writing are my life’s greatest passions. However, writing was my first love. I've been putting pen to paper since I could read. And in middle school I won a nation-wide poetry contest and was published in a book!
  6. I have a cat named Poe (after the poet Edgar Allen) and she drives around with me in the car.

  7. I have my Bachelor’s degree in Communication and Journalism. College is where I discovered photography (& a little bit of myself). During my 1st year at Suffolk I took a black & white film class. We learned to develop and print photos in a dark room. I fell in love and never looked back. Heres one of the first photos I ever developed. This was taken on the Island of Nantucket off the coast of Massachusetts.

  8. My parents got divorced when I was 4. Honestly they are so different I couldn’t even imagine them together. And surprisingly I am the only one from my group of friends whose parents are divorced. Everyone of my friend’s parents are still together.
  9. I’m still incredibly close with that same group of friends from middle school. Some are even my roommates, currently. The group includes 2 police officers (ones a former marine), a professional wrestler, a tattoo artist, an electrician, a personal trainer… and then me… apparently I’m a late bloomer.. don’t judge me!
  10. I’m going to be 30 years old on January 1st. AHHHHH! rips hair out

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions! I love the feedback! :)

Here a few tips for starters snce you probably won't get any advice from those who comment under here, here's what I gathered thus far.
It's tough to make money at first so if that's your main cause to be on here grind that into your head straight away, that doesn't mean you shouldn't post content, you should, but enganging with others in the comment sections to grow your following is your best bet. Which categories?

Probably the introduce yourself one and the photography section but you can choose things that you have knowledge about too and then go from there just know that there is a lot of crap on here so plowing through that just to connect with others can be tough. Cheers.
