Welcome, you wannabe!

Hi everybody, and Merry Christmas! My name is Daniel Kwan, and I'm a photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I have been primarily a nightclub party photographer for the past year, and a general freelance photographer shooting anything and everything for about two years. Maybe longer. I forget. Anyway, over the years as a photographer, I have learned a whole bunch of stuff about the business, the perks and the pitfalls, the bright side and the ugly side, and I want to share my knowledge with those who are thinking about getting into the field of photography.

Today's entry is an introduction, so I'll just give one simple advice which you'll thank me for later: DON'T become a photographer!

Once again, Merry Christmas everybody!
