Reaction Paper Two: Jim Lennon Studio Visit

Today My photography seminar class and I went to visit Jim Lennon's studio. I thought he was a very friendly individual who really explained what goes into keeping a studio very well. He had extensive knowledge in the business side of photography and provided many stories and experiences. However, I found myself become slightly intimidated. After leaving the studio, I began to ponder over whether photography is the profession for me. Of course I love photography, and I still want to do it know matter what, but I'm not sure if I would be capable of making a living out of it or turning it into a business. Maybe I'm too hard on myself or too cautious, but maybe not. In addition to the experience, I was expecting to see more of Jim's studio and how he does things rather than having him talk most of the time. I found myself getting restless from standing for so long, and a bit bored. All in all, the visit to Jim Lennon's studio was a good one because I got a lot of pointers out of it. It also gave me an inside look on what a real photography studio looks like and what it entails. Lastly, I also enjoyed browsing over his work that was tastefully hung around the studio.
