What is this blog about? I guess it is obvious so there isn't to much to say about it.
Why did I create it? Well,so to say,to give something back to the world,because the internet was such a helpful place back when I was a beginner
And that is when I realized quality training is hard to find,especially for free.I got pissed off so many times by tutorials that you can't even call material for beginners.Its more like tutorials for idiots probably because they don't want to show more for free(just a wild guess).
All content here will always be free and 100% original(that means written by myself not just copied from someone else).
Yet you can see there a Donate button and that is why I have written this about page.I don't want people to think that I am begging them to send me some money.As we have this donate option provided by PayPal,I was thinking why the hell not.I know 99% of people will never donate nothing witch is ok,I won't get all pissed and remove all content from the blog.But if someone will find it helpful enough to donate a few cents for my efforts,it will feel nice.Its the gesture that counts the most.
There are other ways to show some appreciation to as most probably lot of people don't have a blogger account,so they can't write an opinion about my posts,now there is a facebook like button.In this case a like=helpful and no I don't get any money from no one if you press the like button:)).
If you have some questions or suggestions you can write a mail to exxoblog@yahoo.com (don't ask what "exxo" stands for...thanks!) for now.But I'm thinking I should create a twitter account to,so you will be noticed each time I post something new.I won't be tweeting nothing else because i guess most people are not interested of when am I flushing the toilet or not.I was thinking a facebook page for the blog will be a good idea to,but for now in case you are in deep crap and need some help with a school project or something,you should use the mail adress.I will try to be a true friend and help you out as soon as possible.
There is only one more thought I want to share. This one is true for most things in life.there is a 90% probability YOU WILL NEVER end up being what you want to be or what you want to do in this life.That means there is a 90% chance you will never be a pro photographer or designer,or at least a good enough one.
Why is that?People don't feel like learning to much I guess.They want to jump straight into action.Having a D-SLR does not make you a photographer,tho we all like to get artistic if we have a good enough camera.Photography was not invented yesterday so it has its own "rules" that make a picture look artistic or pro enough.Plus a lot of technical stuff you should know to properly set up your camera for each shot.Of course rules are meant to be broken.But once you know the rules,you know you are breaking them for a terribly good reason(it is called creativity!)not just because you don't know any better.
When about extreme sports,I would say there is a 90% chance you wont even be able to learn some basic tricks,or to do them right,so I guess it is a 99% chance you won't end up ever being a professional.That is because most people give up way to easy.Skills need time and a heck of a lot of practice to develop.Once you will develop skills(and you will if you don't give up) people will call it talent just as an excuse for why they can't do the things you can.I call talent that spark of genius that makes some people rise above all other no matter how skilled they are.
You should take things as a battle against yourself,not others.Find challenges,to help push your own limits.For an example,I liked playing baschetball alone against two.That usually meant loosing the game,but it was a nice test of skill and an opportunity to push my limits.It is not about winning,its about what you learn...while loosing(:P)
I guess I just sounded like a loving parent,or a priest,but hey!Thats the way it is;)
