Wk 01 EOC: About Me

My name is Joaquin Lares and I am an aspiring travel and portrait photographer. I have had a love affair with photography for as long as I can remember. I bought my first camera when I was in the 8^th grade and have been taking photographs in one form or another since. Photography is an example of how I view the world, not just another point and click vacation photo. To be able to travel the world, photograph to places and people you visit, and share with the world your interpretation of your experience. There is nothing like it. Portrait photography is my second interest and is one of the more challenging forms of photography to learn but rewarding all the same. There is an inner satisfaction in capture the true spirit of your model and being able to display it for all to see through your creativity. Self-expression is one of the few joys anyone can experience in life that is purely their own and can not be influenced by outside source without your permission. I approach all aspects of photography, as a starving person desires food. I consume as much information as I can possibly learn from any given subject until I feel there is nothing else for me to possibly learn.

Wk 02 EOC : What I Think About Lawyers

Lawyers now a day appear to be more interested in money then in actually helping the people that are paying them. I have seen that often times that you, as a client will pay a lawyer large sums of money to represent you in court but then you find out that the lawyer delegates your case to a subordinate with way less experience while still charging you as if he is representing you.  So while you are counting on his/her expertise in your case, they are in fact off on vacation or anywhere else but the courtroom.
