3. Week 3 Update

A little irony.  Although this is a three week update, I have technically been living in Colorado for seven weeks now.  Life has definitely been on the go and exciting so it has taken me longer than expected to finish this post.  I also had to finish two other projects before this one could take precedence.  Anyway, hope you like it and I plan to make more videos soon.

Preface to Upcoming "Vlog"

    This post is a quick introduction to what I'm currently working on.  I have recently moved to Colorado within the last week to pursue a new chapter in my life working as a Ski Photographer with Sharp Shooter Imaging.  The plan is to occasionally document my experience through a "video blog" format to update friends and family while I'm here.

    It has been a long time coming, trying to decide what my next move would be and where that move would take me.  I have been pursuing several different opportunities in several different locations over the past couple of months, and I honestly had no clue where I would end up.  The one thing I did know; however, was that I would need to jump on the first opportunity that came my way.
 
Winter Park, Colorado was the answer.

    After submitting a lot of resume's to different places ranging from New York to Denver, even locally in Alabama, I finally took the time to choose an option that I had always considered, but had yet to pursue.  Two days before the New Year, I applied to about five different Ski Photographer jobs just to see if any were still available.  To my pleasant surprise, the resort I recognized the most contacted me New Year's day, and I interviewed and accepted the job the next day.  Within one week's time, I traveled to Miami, FL to watch Alabama win it's 15th National Championship, then packed up my car and headed out West to the Rocky Mountains.  It was definitely a spur of the moment, life-changing decision, but I believe it will be an amazing experience.

This is my 2013 so far . . .
