It has helped my niece a lot.because after graduating from interior design, she is into photography now. You are right that you canoot be a master of both. You really have to excel or master one first before you could venture into another. Hope a lot more of this site will be posted in the future. Thanks for posting this site.

I have done plenty of class work but it is in the field where I have learned the most. The principles and elements are important to get one's head around but the interpretation of them is on the job training or with an experienced designer. One thing about pictures to show clients ~ unless you are very, very good, have them professionally taken. It is a God-send to have a wonderful architectural photographer. The pictures look well-done AND more true to what the eye is seeing. I know it can be pricey but it is worth every cent to show your work is all its glory. Vicente, Happy holidays to you and yours! I've enjoyed reading your blog and reading 'The Secret' based on your recommendation. Thank you very much! Paula Grace I agree ~ start with one, master it, then add another if you’d like.

I shot weddings and portrait and I use a Mamyia and a old 510 Hassablad... With those two cameras I was often blown away at the detail of the photo's... I loved taking photo's of people as the emotion was so touching later when I would get back all the proofs I was shocked often, because I would think I did not get any good moments and then there they would be... many moments!!!! I Often would offer to take photo's of weddings and just charge the cost of the film and maybe 200 dollars because I wanted every one even those that had no money to spare to have their moments on film... Also, do this a lot in the start of your business and you can create a portfolio that way by just charging your cost and then you have a "book". Enjoy, Melissa Dear Vicente and Melissa,

But I'm very impressed with what my daughter achieves with a digital Nikon. She is a photography student who uses both. The digital pictures are just as clear, the colors maintain their full depth across sun and shade areas unlike most Kodak color films, and you have the added advantage of being able to take more chances since you are not wasting film and can delete your mistakes. Nikon replacement parts on their old film cameras are increasingly hard to get, and their response time slower. Local repair people tell me that Canon keeps their parts longer and responds more quickly. Kodak is phasing out some (or all) of their 35 mm color films. Correct me if I'm wrong, Vicente, but I believe that the large format cameras that take fine resolution photos are still all made for film. Everyone: I just put a question about floor lamps in the previous blog about that subject, but I'm not sure that anyone would see it since it is a week or more old. If anyone is up on the subject, I would appreciate your input. Happy holidays everyone!

As a person with an eye for beauty you will realize that is a wonderful thing to capture this on camera. I do the same and take pictures everywhere! My family groans already, trips take so much longer. LOL! Anyway, I need a better camera too and have the Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP in mind... Happy holidays!
