I try to keep it out of my blog but my overwhelming boredness at my job is killing me. So finally after much, much, much deliberation, I finally applied to Photography school.
Months ago, Nadine asked me what my dream job was.
It is and has always been photographer for National Geographic.
She asked me what I was doing about that dream.
Nothing.
She then said "maybe you should do something about it or change your dream."
Ouch.
But very true.
So after hemming and hawing, I looked around my office and had the realization that this was not where I wanted to be. And that going back to school, even going into debt over it, could never be a bad thing as long as I learned something from it.
I filled out my application (at work no less) and sent it in.
A few days later I got an email saying accepted.
In September I will be on my way to a diploma in professional photography, which I can hopefully mix with my anthropology degree in someway to get me experience, so that when I apply to National Geographic in a few years they will say "we gotta get this girl on board."

About Me
- Name: Shari
- Victoria, BC, Canada
- I'm a Canadian gypsy, pledging my life to wandering the earth to find holes to indulge my hermit tendencies. A vegetarian environmentalist who likes to talk the talk and would walk the walk, but oh, the effort. A girl born in the wrong epoch of time but still in love with her ipod. A left-winger who is tolerant of almost everything, except the right wing. A touch of honey with a whole lotta sass. A humanist/ aethist who still loves temples and shrines. And yes, an urban hippie. But hey, that's just me. Shari Nakagawa Photography can be found at - www.sharinakagawa.com
