Touchdown Montreal
I made it!! Still getting settled in, in this giant new city. A big thanks to my mom for coming up with me for the first couple days, now that she came and left I can't imagine how lost I would have been arriving here alone. It's so crazy here, and the nightlife is insane. Looking forward to an incredible summer.
I got so many hard, and cute, and funny questions from people who read my blog! I am going to spread them out throughout posts, I think. So keep asking away! I got some through Facebook, and anonymous email!!! Haha pretty cool. allie.beckwith@gmail.com

Where do you get your ideas and how do you get inspired/ what inspires you the most?
Inspiration is everywhere, always. You just need to stop looking and start seeing. think about that. I have days where I can walk around my house and pay no attention, then the next morning I walk around my house and see a red circle thing hanging in the window of my kitchen thats been there for years and then a sudden NEED to use it somehow. (See below blog post)
But the photographers I follow via blogs, facebook, instagram, youtube, really give me the most inspiration. I see them doing it and doing what they love, and it just snaps me into place and perspective. Seeing others succeed in my field.

I worked my butt off to prefect my portfolio and got in contact with as many people as possible to get my photos out there, emailed everyone in the world asking for work in Toronto & Montreal, got very few emails back but knew I didn't want to spend my summer working at the GBW Golf Club, SO I worked even harder and followed up, and landed a skype interview with these guys and here I am! & No, it had nothing to do with school, self motivation is another key. (seems like less work & less stressful as I simplify it here lol)
