TJ Klein Photography: pure rawintellekt since '81

In the dawn, walking closer to the journey...

As calm as the new day came in...

...the dawn was calm

angels started to color the sky w/ purple kisses...

suddenly, a burst of energy emerged

More to come…stay tuned…

This picture was taken on 8/16/09.  I wanted to actually get a picture ofthe sunsetting, but I opted for this instead…I love how the blending of colors went into effect with the sun hiding behind the trees…

I’ve had this blog for about a couple days now. I first decided that I wouldn’t write anything pertaining to life, issues going on in my world, etc.  Then perhaps I thought, that maybe JUST maybe I can maintain a blog filled with all my memories, pictures, photography, life in general!

The is the Journey into TJ Klein Photography….

Allow me to reintroduce myself! >> Im twenty-eight, I am a female and I currently reside in Hampton Roads, VA.  I started being interested in photography about three years ago when I started flipping photos with my kodak digital camera.  The fascination that I captured in my photographs made me say in the beginning that I could do this, but I know I need to motivate myself more. The motivation came…my first subject..myself. You see, Im not a typical model…I’m not 5’9, I don’t have long legs, and I’m definitely don’t fit into any “America’s Next Top Model,” mold. The faceshots, the angles, the vibrance of those pictures just made me brighten myself to be more attentive to taking photographs!  Fast forward…I started taking more in depth photos, focusing on different objects, making sure the light was okay, etc! Okay! I could be sounding cheesy at this point, but who cares. All I know is I became a kid in a candy store. I just wanted to know more and more of the essence of photography.

Three years later, and still with a lot to learn! I have a reliable camera and I’m just taking my journey one day at a time. I’ve done an array of different types of photography from birthday parties to just landscape photography. You can go so many directions with photography, and to be honest with you the sky is definitely the limit. I will die a happy child saying to myself “Damn, I actually made a difference in myself following my passion, my journey…”
