This is awesome.

I was just reading a post over on the blog of the amazing Sarah Rhodes and she mentioned that she is an ENFP according the Myers Briggs personality test. It reminded me of the book I've been carrying around for the last year or so and I've been meaning to write up a lil something about. It's called Now What? The Young Person's Guide to Choosing the Perfect Career. It's basically a book that helps you choose a career that makes the most of your natural skills and passions. I highly recommend it if you're trying to figure out what to do with your life.

Anyways, the test told me that I'm an INFP. That stands for Introversion, Intuition, Feeling, Perceiving. It happens to be a great personality type for becoming a photojournalist, which is awesome because I've recently decided to become a wedding and lilfestyle photographer!

If your ever wanted to know everything about me -- what makes me tick -- here's my personality profile:

Idealistic, warm, caring, creative, imaginative, original, artistic, perceptive, supportive, empathetic, cooperative, facilitative, compassionate, responsive, sensitive, gentle, tenderhearted, devoted, loyal, virtuous, self-critical, perfectionist, self-sacrificing, deep, multi-faceted, persistant, determined, hardworking, daydreamers, improvisors, initiators of new projects and possibilities, change agents. Drawn to possibilities, what could be rather than what is. Values-oriented with high level of personal integrity. Their focus is on understanding themselves, personal growth, and contributing to society in a meaningful way. Under surface appearances they are complex and driven to seek perfection in themselves, their relationships, and their self-expression. If their career does not express their idealism and drive for improvement, they usually become bored and restless. Dislike conflict, dealing with trivialities, and engaging in meaningless social chatter. Thrive on acknowledgement and recognition so long as they are not the center of attention. Need a private work space, autonomy, and a minimum of bureaucratic rules.

Best documentary I've seen in awhile. Seriously.

Today was pretty much my first day taking portraits and it was so much fun! My (not so) little sister Megan, agreed to be my model for the day and she is awesome. We kept it pretty local and went to the top of Club Drive in San Carlos where there is an amazing view (and not too much foot traffic.) Then we headed over to Arundel, where we both attended elementary school. It was crazy to be back on the playground; everything seems so small when you're a couple of feet taller. Anyways, here is a taste of what we came up with:

"The master in the art of living draws no distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing and leaves it to others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he is always doing both." --Susan Fowler Woodring
